7.1.2. Deleting a PAK
To remove a PAK from the E2:
When PAKs are deleted in this way, E2 will
always delete the highest numbered PAKs first.
Therefore, if you have seven PAKs (numbered 1-
7) and you change the number of PAKs to five,
the E2 will delete board #6 and #7, leaving
boards #1 through #5.
7.2. Setting the "Connected"
and "Read Setpoints" At-
tributes
Unlike other MultiFlex devices, the PAK
will not automatically communicate with the E2
once the board is properly numbered and added
in the Connected I/O screen. To enable commu-
nication with the PAK, you must set the "Con-
nected" parameter in the General tab of the PAK
setup screens to "Yes." By default, a new PAK
added to the E2 will have the "Connected"
parameter set to "No."
The PAK also has a feature called Read Set-
points, which allows contractors who configure
the PAK via Hand-Held Terminal before connec-
tion to an E2 to have the PAK setpoints saved to
the E2 upon initial connection.

configuration. If Read Setpoints is set to No, the
E2 will write the PAK application’s setpoints to
the PAK upon initial connection.
