The E3
Console sequentially assigns I/O card addresses when defining the I/O cards in the console. Valid
addressed are 0–F (hexadecimal). Configure the hardware address on each I/O card to match address
assigned in E3 Console. On I/O cards with CAN bus interface, the address is set using a hexadecimal
switch located on the card. On I/O cards with IP interface, the address is set using a serial port connection
and command line interface (CLI). Refer to individual I/O card manuals to set the address (see the
Reference Documentation section).
Inputs Tab
The inputs tab lists the inputs for the currently displayed I/O controller. The E3 Console sequentially
assigns each input address based on the card address and input number. The first input on I/O card zero is
0.1
, the second input on card zero is
0.2
, and so on. The properties for each input appear in the columns
from left to right across the inputs tab and define the address, description, input type, trigger, fault
category, and inhibit state.
