Real-Time Clock Installation Procedure

The optional Real-time Clock (RTC) that is used with the G7 ASD is the Dallas Semiconductor DS1642-
100. The RTC provides the user with a time-stamp of Start, Run, and Fault events. Though the G7 has a
counter to control timing functions, such as accel/decel times, terminal delays, etc., the RTC allows for
real-time event control, as opposed to a user-selected counter start and accumulation time.
Date and time startups are allowed and faults may be logged and catalogued according to their time of
occurrence.

Installation
The DS1642-100 is packaged in a 24-pin DIP configuration and is installed on the component-side of the
Electronic Operator Interface printed circuit board. During insertion, ensure that the pin #1 marking on
the RTC is positioned at the pin #1 indicator imprinted on the printed circuit board.
Align the pins of the RTC with the female pins of the socket (one row at a time) and slowly press the RTC
into the socket. Perform a visual inspection when done to ensure that all of the RTC pins were inserted
correctly.

Setting the Time

After installation of the RTC, the time may be set from the Program menu of the G7 ASD by performing
steps 1 – 5 below (Program ⇒ EOI Option Setup ⇒ Realtime Clock Setup):
1. Press the MON/ PRG key until the Program menu is displayed.
2. Turn the Rotary Encoder until EOI Option Setup is within the cursor block and press the Rotary
Encoder.
3. Turn the Rotary Encoder until Realtime Clock Setup is within the cursor block and press the
Rotary Encoder.
4. Press the Rotary Encoder and the selection will take on the reverse video format (dark background,
light text). Turn the Rotary Encoder to change the value of the setting. Press the ESC key while the
display is in the reverse video mode to exit the menu without saving the change or press the Rotary
Encoder to accept the new setting.
5. Turn the Rotary Encoder to access the other fields of this screen and repeat the setting procedure for
each.
