Configure Digital Modules
Using RSNetWorx Software
Use Sequential Auto Addressing
Sequential Auto Addressing (SAA) reassigns the node address of every module
to the right of the one you select on the POINTBus network. Each module
changes its node address to one greater than its neighbor.
Make sure the node address of the selected module is the
IMPORTANT
desired value before issuing the SAA command.
When this command is set, each module to the right gets a new address one
greater than its neighbor. The addressing ripples through a line of POINT I/O
modules, assigning a node number to each module installed in a mounting base
on the same POINTBus network.
Follow these steps to Auto Address a line of POINT I/O modules.
1. Set the address of the first module you want to address.
2. Set the Auto Address command to Sequential Address.
All modules in line reset with new sequential addresses.
For example, assume you have five POINT I/O modules in a line, and the
address of the first module is 10. After the Sequential Address command is
sent to the first module, the node address of the line is 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14.
Using Third-party Configuration Software
When using third-party configuration software, load the EDS files into the
software and follow the designers instructions.
To configure digital input modules, proceed as follows, noting that input
modules use dialogs similar to the one for the 1734-IB4 modules used in this
procedure.
1. Open your RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.
2. Using the selections on the left, construct your system.
