Configuring the Module
Chapter 2 provides instructions and information for configuring the
Remote I/O communications module (1203-GD1, 1203-GK1, or
1336-GM1). In this chapter, you will read about the following:
Factory-default settings.
Recording the I/O image table.
Configuring the module.
Important: The communications module is not compatible with
complementary I/O configurations because it uses both
output and input image words for proper product control.
Please observe the following safety precautions:
ATTENTION: Hazard of equipment damage exists. When
!
you make changes to the switch settings, use a blunt, pointed
instrument. Do not use a pencil or pen.
ATTENTION: Hazard of injury or equipment damage
!
exists. Failure to check connections and switch settings for
compatibility with your application could result in
unintended or undesirable operation. Verify the
configuration is correct for your application.
ATTENTION: Hazard of injury or equipment damage
!
exists. Unintended or incorrect machine motion can result
from the initial configuration. When a system is configured
for the first time, the motor must be disconnected from the
machine or process during initial system testing.
Important: Due to an anomaly in firmware release 4.01, Remote I/O
modules that are used only for block transfer messages
require the following configuration: switches for block
transfer and reference/feedback should both be enabled
(SW 3.1 and SW 3.3 are ON. SW 3.2 and SW 3.4 through
3.8 are OFF).
This configuration prevents a fault on power up. It does not
affect rack I/O allocation or the ladder logic program
because it still fits within 1/4 rack I/O space. The drive will,
however, generate a serial fault if the communications
module is disconnected or loses power.
