Adding Expansion Modules
8-2
8.1 General
See Installation Manual LT0394 Chapter 2 for physical requirements of fitting cards in bays.
This section describes the procedure to configure the panel with additional modules which
may be added to the panel. It describes the concept and method of adding modules by
giving detailed examples of 7 cards: IDNet or IDNet+, 6 Supervised Signal Card, 8 Point
Monitor Card, 4 and 8 Relay Point Cards (PDI), 8 Aux Relay Card (legacy), 24 Point Graphic
Interface and a Dual RS232 printer card.
Each slave card must be assigned a unique address so the CPU card can communicate with
it. When a new slave is added in the programmer, the ES Programmer will automatically
assign the next unused address, but you can override this if necessary.
Note that all additional cards must use address 5 or above since addresses 0-4 are reserved
as follows:
#0
– CPU card
#1
– SPS card
#2
– IDNet card that is embedded on the SPS
#3
– First 64 LED / 64 SW Controller
#4
– Optional second 64 LED / 64 SW Controller
Therefore, when adding the first extra slave, do not use address 4, unless the slave is the
second 64 LED/Switch Controller.
The ES Programmer automatically allocates card addresses with the rule that the lowest free
address is used. If you want to reserve addresses for later use, temporarily add some cards
so the reserved addresses are used and delete them later.
The procedure for adding cards is identical for all cards
– only the points and settings differ.
8.2 Adding 4100-3101AU IDNet or 4100-3107AU IDNet+ Loop
Card
If more than 250 devices or two physical loops are needed an additional 4100-3101AU
IDNet or a 4100-3107AU IDNet+ Addressable Loop card can be added to the panel. These
“AU” versions have special slave exec files to meet particular Australian requirements, and
only AU versions should be used. However, for programming purposes, there is no
difference to the standard 4100-3101 and 4100-3107 IDNet Loop cards, so the AU version is
not specifically called out in the following detail.
For mounting instructions, refer to the documentation supplied with the module and LT0394
4100ES-S1 Installation Manual.
The 4100-3101 IDNet Loop Card provides a 250 device capacity on one physical wiring
loop. The 4100-3107 IDNet+ Loop Card provides a 246 device capacity on up to four
physical wiring loops with independent short- and open-circuit protection. Device addresses
247-250 are reserved for the inbuilt loop isolators.
The following example is for the 4100-3101 IDNet card, but the same steps apply to the
4100-3107 IDNet+ card, except that the IDNet+ card is physically twice the size of the IDNet
card, so the ES Programmer will not allow it to be fitted if there is insufficient room.
