Configuration
Base Address Offset for the FX-2000 and MR-2100/2200/2900 Series Panels
The FX-2000 and MR-2100/2200/2900 series of panels reserve addresses 101 to 199 for
CLIP modules. As a result, you must offset the addresses of INX-10A devices by 100 when
you add these devices on the FX-2000 or MR-2100/2200/2900 configurator.
Base Address Offset for the FX-3500/3500RCU and MR-2350 Panels
For the FX-3500/3500RCU and MR-2350, CLIP device addresses start at 201. As a result,
you must offset the addresses of INX-10A devices by 200 when you configure these devices
on the Configurator.
To configure an FX-3500/3500RCU and MR-2350 loop with a CLIP address space
1. Start the Configurator, and then open your job.
2. Select Base I/O from your job tree.
The CLIP/Advance Protocol Address Space configuration window appears. By
default, the entire address space is assigned to AP devices and there is no address
space reserved for CLIP modules. (That is,
Allowable CLIP Addresses is set to None
for both Sensors and Modules .) To reserve address space for CLIP devices, you must
add the number of CLIP devices to the AP Start value.
3. Enter 100 in the AP Start column for the loop that your INX-10A is connected to, and
then press the Tab key.
The entries for allowable CLIP addresses for Sensors and Modules change to 1-99 and
201-299, respectively. This allows you to enter 99 CLIP sensors and 99 CLIP modules to
the loop. Your CLIP/Advance Protocol Address window should look similar to Figure 14
(assuming your INX-10A is connected to Loop 2),.

Attention: The FX-3500/3500RCU and MR-2350 panels must be configured with a
CLIP address space before you can add INX-10A panels to them. See
the following procedure for instructions on how to add a CLIP address
space to an FX-3500/3500RCU and MR-2350.
