2.4 ETHERNET DATA I/O FUNCTION BLOCKS
These function blocks are available in the quantities indicated within a controller. These blocks can be selected for
use within individual loops but block names are unique station wide.

2.5 CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE
Each controller must be configured to perform the desired control strategy. The arrangement of functions and the
numerical data required for a particular control circuit are referred to as the controller configuration. Local and
remote configurations are accommodated.
Local configuration involves the configuration pushbuttons and the pulser knob on the Display Assembly’s
faceplate. Section 8.2 Configuration Mode shows the faceplate and provides brief descriptions of control functions.
Remote configuration requires a personal computer running the i|config™ Graphical Configuration Utility and
either a configuration cable or a Modbus or Modbus/TCP Ethernet network connection. The configuration can be
created at and downloaded from the personal computer. A network connection is made at the controller’s terminals
or the Ethernet RJ45 connector. The configuration cable plugs into the configuration port in the underside of a 353
Display Assembly. The other end of this cable connects to a personal computer’s serial port or to a modem.
WARNING
Explosion hazard
Explosion can cause death or serious injury.
In a potentially explosive atmosphere, remove power from the
equipment before connecting or disconnecting power, signal
or other circuits.
Comply with all pertinent regulations regarding installation in a
hazardous area.
