Installing Multiple IO Blox Devices

When installing more than one IO Blox device in a system, you must connect the devices
with the supplied cables, and set the address select switch correctly for each additional
device.
1. Locate the IO Blox-to-IO Blox cable that was supplied with the system. See
Table 2-2 on page 9
2. Plug one end of the cable into the JCBL2 connector on the first IO Blox.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the JCBL1 connector on the second IO Blox.
4. Continue this cabling process for any additional devices.
5. Set the address select switch for additional devices. See
NOTE: Each IO Blox device (up to 4) must have a unique address. IO Blox
devices with duplicate addresses will conflict.
