Addressing Panel Bus I/O Modules
Each Panel Bus I/O Module must be addressed manually using its HEX switch (S2). The HEX switch setting
is defined using the WEBs N4 engineering tool.
Figure 39: Location of HEX switch on Panel Bus I/O Module
NOTE
A HEX switch setting of "0" corresponds to an address in WEBs N4 of "1," a setting of "1" cor-
responds to an address of "2," and so on.
During commissioning, a max. of 16 Panel Bus I/O Modules of each type (AI, DO, etc.) can be assigned
addresses. In doing so, no two modules of the same type (e.g., no two Analog Input Modules, no two Digital
Output modules, etc.) may be assigned the same address. See also Figure 40.
Figure 40: HEX switch setting and corresponding address
Failing to observe this requirement will cause a "Fail [date] timeout" error message to appear in the "Health"
column, and the device status "down" to appear in the "Status" column. This same error message will likewise
appear if an address is assigned to a module with which the controller cannot, for any reason (e.g., due to
defective wiring, or because the module has not been physically installed, etc.), communicate.
Automatic Updating of Panel Bus I/O Module Firmware
The firmware of the Panel Bus I/O modules is part of the CIPer Model 50 firmware. The CIPer Model 50
controller will thus automatically update the firmware of the Panel Bus I/O modules as soon as it detects an
older version in them.
