General Information Overview This manual will help you install and maintain PointScan/100 I/O modules. In summary, wiring for power, communications and I/O is connected to each module’s base. Then, setup choices are entered using the IO Toolkit software and the system will be ready to run. Shown below are some typical system configurations using PointScan/100 I/O: Using Ethernet based PointScan/100 I/O with (RS485) PointScan/200 expansion I/O General Specifications...
I/O Module Components A PointScan/100 Series I/O module consists of a base assembly and a removable logic module. All base assemblies have a hinged door that is accessible when the logic module is removed. In 4-20 mA analog input modules (PointScan/102, /104, /108, and /130) the hinged door provides access to jumpers and/or 100 ohm replaceable shunts.
DC Power Wiring PointScan/443 PointScan/442 gateways, and user instrumentation loops may be powered from the PointScan/443 power supply. The PointScan/443 supplies 24 volts DC at a maximum of two amps. DC Power Wiring (User DC Source) PointScan/442 gateways, and user instrumentation loops may be powered from a single DC source. The user DC power source must be between 18 to 30 volts.
Isolation Every PointScan/100 Series I/O module is isolated from ground and other modules for fault-free operation. Additional levels of isolation (e.g. 500V channel to channel isolation) are provided with some modules. Refer to the product specifications in the IO Toolkit online help system for more information. Local Diagnostics Local diagnostics can be performed through any available port while the gateway is responding to messages from the other port.

Ethernet, RS485 Wiring Ethernet Wiring Guidelines PointScan/100 I/O modules communicate with a master device (PC) using 10BaseT Ethernet media. Electrical isolation is provided on the Ethernet port for increased reliability. Follow normal Ethernet wiring practices when installing PointScan/100 I/O modules. RS485 Wiring Guidelines PointScan/100 I/O modules also feature an RS485 port for I/O expansion via PointScan/200 I/O modules.
PointScan/100 Series Panel Assembly PointScan/100 Series I/O snaps onto DIN rail strips fastened to the subpanel. The following figure shows a sample panel with DIN rail strips and wire duct attached. Recommended DIN rail spacing is 8 inches. This spacing allows room for wire duct to be installed without obstructing field wiring installation. The PointScan/100 Series modules are typically installed against one another, but space may be left between modules to accommodate other DIN rail mounted components such as terminal blocks and fuse holders.

Note: PointScan/100 and PointScan/200 “smart bases” allow hot swap of live modules -- an exclusive IOtech feature that makes it permissible to configure PointScan/100 and PointScan/200 modules in live systems. The PointScan/100 or PointScan/200 module configuration you created the IO Toolkit program will be written into permanent memory in the module’s base.
IO Toolkit PointScan/100 or PointScan/200 modules are configured using the IO Toolkit software. Configuration parameters are written over Ethernet, RS485, or RS232 (PointScan/440 module only) into permanent memory in the module’s base. Refer to the IO Toolkit help for details. Here are the basic steps for configuring a PointScan I/O module or PointScan/442 gateway.
Use the IO Toolkit to set pulse cycling as fast as 10 mS or as slow (many minutes) as your system dynamics require. Each output may be configured as a TPO or ordinary discrete output. I/O Registers Function IOtech Registers Modbus Registers Discrete Inputs X0 – X7 10001 –...
