Generic DCF Waveguide Switch

This virtual connector can be used to represent a waveguide switch. The connector displays a Position parameter with two possible values: Position A and Position B. Operators can switch between the two positions by clicking the Toggle Position button.

This connector does not actually poll any data from a device. Instead it connects to an already existing element using the Element Connections module of DataMiner.

Multiple ranges of the connector exist in parallel to support the different position values.

Configuration

Connections

Virtual Connection

This connector uses a virtual connection and does not require any input during element creation.

How to Use

This connector is a switch controller connector. The correct connections with the actual element (the element to be managed) have to be configured in the Element Connections module of DataMiner.

The connector displays a Position parameter with two possible values: Position A and Position B. The operator can switch between the two positions by clicking the Toggle Position button.

DataMiner Connectivity Framework

All ranges of the Generic DCF Waveguide Switch connector supports the usage of DCF.

Interfaces

Fixed interfaces

Virtual fixed interfaces:

  • In_1_A: is created to parameter In_1_A and interface type is in.
  • In_1_B: is created to parameter In_1_B and interface type is in.
  • Out_1_A: is created to parameter Out_1_A and interface type is out.
  • Out_1_B: is created to parameter Out_1_B and interface type is out.

Connections

Internal Connections

The connector has the following possible internal connections:

  • between interface In_1_A and Out_1_A
  • between interface In_1_A and Out_1_B
  • between interface In_1_B and Out_1_A
  • between interface In_1_B and Out_1_B
