Procedure 3 Slave Station Setting - Panasonic MEWNET-F Technical Manual

5.3.4 Procedure 3 Slave Station Setting

Set slave stations (such as a system which a slave unit is installed, I/O terminal board and I/O terminal
unit).
Setting the slave station number
Note the followings when setting the station numbers for slave stations.
Up to 32 stations can be connected to one master unit (station number range: 01 to 32).However, the
total number of I/O points should not be more than 1024 points.
Do not use the same station number as the other slave stations connected to the same master unit.(The
same station number can be used when the connected master unit is different.)
I/O numbers are allocated from the smallest station number in ascending order.
Note) If any number other than 01 to 32, an error will occur and the remote I/O control cannot be
performed.When a setting error occurs, the ALARM LED on the slave station flashes.
Setting method
Set the station numbers with the station number selectors (rotary swithces).
Note1) The station numbers are not necessarily set in the order of connection.
Note2) It is no matter if there are blank station numbers.
Setting example
Set the slave station (A) indicated in "Procedure 1" to the slave station number 1,
set the slave station (B) to the slave station number 3,
set the slave station (C) to the slave station number 4.
The I/O numbers are allocated for (A), (B) and (C) in that order.Refer to "Procedure 4" for information on
the I/O numbers.
Reference:
For the details of manifold solenoid valves manufactured by various campanies, also refer to respective
manuals.
For information on the allocation of I/O numbers, <Chapter 6 Remote I/O Map>
Note:
Do not rotate the station number selectors after turning on the power supply.
Changing the station numbers will not affect in operaiton as the control is performed with the station
numbers when the power turned on, however, it will cause an error in the next startup.
