Chapter 4. Configuration
Configuring Discrete Modules that Have DIP Switches
4.2.3.5
Some PACSystems RX3i discrete output modules have a physical DIP switch that controls the operation of
their output circuits whenever connection to an IO-Controller is lost. A switch selects between Force Off
and Hold Last State. This setting applies to all outputs on the module.
The documentation for each such module lists any additional requirements for Hold Last State to operate
correctly. For some modules, field power must be maintained on the PACSystems backplane in order for
Hold Last State to operate correctly.
If a discrete output or discrete mixed module does not have a switch or an additional configuration option
specifying the default behavior of its outputs, the hardware default is to turn outputs off.
Configuring Modules that have Jumpers
4.2.3.6
Certain PACSystems RX3i analog modules have jumpers on their terminal strips that control the operation
of their I/O. For example, the IC69xALG220 can operate as a +10 Vdc to -10 Vdc analog input or a
4-20 mA analog input depending on a jumper setting. The IC69xALG390 is another example: it uses a
jumper rather than a DIP switch to determine whether to Force Off or Hold Last State.
Jumper settings are latched when the module is powered up, so the jumper setting cannot be altered
during operation. The module itself must experience a power cycle for an altered jumper setting to have
effect.
Support for Analog Modules with HART Features
4.2.4
PNS001 firmware version 2.30 and later supports the HART Pass Through feature of a number of modules,
as listed in Section 1.7. HART-compatible PNC001 and compatible RX3i CPU versions are also required.
Refer to the PACSystems HART Pass Through User Manual, GFK-2929.
PNS001 firmware version 2.41 added support for the Remote Get HART Device Information COMMREQ.
Using this COMMREQ, information from a HART device connected to an RX3i Analog Module located in a
rack controlled by an RX3i PROFINET Scanner may be read into the user application. Refer to the
PACSystems RX3i System Manual, GFK-2314M or later, for details concerning this COMMREQ.
PNS001 does not support HART variables at time of publication.
Configuring Module Parameters
4.2.5
After adding PACSystems RX3i modules to the remote IO-Device, their parameters must be configured.
For all PACSystems RX3i modules, this includes configuring a set of basic parameters such as reference
address. Configuration details for those basic parameters are given on the following pages. If the module
has no module-specific parameters, a blank grouping of Module Parameters may be displayed in the
Configuration Tool.
The RX3i modules listed in the following table require additional configuration beyond the basic
parameters described in this chapter. Refer to the PACSystems RX3i System Manual, GFK-2314, or to the
individual module datasheet for detailed parameter information.
