3.1 I/O POINT CONFIGURATION
This section describes how to configure I/O points in a NETio Unit. This
process is required for each I/O signal connected to a NETio Unit. The
instructions here assume that you have established a PC connection with
the unit as described earlier in this manual.
This section also gives instructions for “mapping” an input to a partic-
ular output. This would be done in cases where an input signal con-
nected to one NETio Module must be regenerated as an
output
from a
different NETio Module.
Each I/O point has a unique address that determines where it is located.
You will use this address when mapping one point to another in a Signal
Extender function, or when selecting the point in a Protocol node.
A points address consists of three fields:
•
Unit ID
—The unique number of the NETio Base Module (see
Section 2.3.4
).
•
Module ID
—The number assigned to the NETio module.
For Expansion Modules: The Module ID is set by the user (see
Section 2.3.5
).
•
Point Number
—This number references the physical termina-
tion number of a particular I/O point on a NETio Module. It is
automatically assigned.
Each I/O point connected to a NETio Unit has an address with the
format shown below. Each field is separated by a comma:
<Unit ID>,<Module ID>,<Point Number>
3.2 I/O NETWORK MENU
The I/O Network menu shows the Base Module and any Expansion
Modules (if present) connected over the backplane or using WeXP. If
there are a large number of modules in the network, it will be necessary
to scroll down the screen to view all entries.
I/O points are configured by first selecting the module that a signal is
wired to and then selecting a particular I/O point second. When a wire-
less expansion module is selected the WeXp LED blinks to indicate that
it is being accessed for configuration.
Quick Start
Step #24:
Select the letter associated with the module containing the I/O point
to be configured. Proceed to
Section 3.2.4
.
