Publication 1203–5.1 –– July, 1997
Installation
Chapter 2 provides information to help you:
• set the module configuration switches
• mount the remote I/O module
• connect the remote I/O cable
• connect the termination resistor
• connect the SCANport link
• connect the power supply
Read this chapter completely before you attempt to install or
configure your remote I/O communications module. Double check
all connections and option selections before you apply power.
Important: Switch selections take effect only on power–up. If you
change selections after power is applied, cycle the
power to use the new settings.
This publication describes switches as being either on or off. If the
switch assembly has the word OPEN printed on it, the word OPEN
corresponds to OFF (O).
When you change the adapter board configurations, keep in mind the
addressing conventions of the type of processor that you are using. In
all cases, each remote I/O device must have a unique address that the
processor can recognize.
Important: This adapter is not compatible with complementary I/O
configurations because the adapter uses both output and
input image words for proper drive control.
!
ATTENTION: When you make changes to the switch
settings, use a blunt, pointed instrument such as a ball
point pen. Do not use a pencil because the lead
(graphite) of the pencil may damage the switch
assembly.
ATTENTION: Failure to check connections and
switch settings for compatibility with your application
when configuring the communications module, could
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage due
to unintended or undesirable operation of the drive or
process equipment.
