Power Up And Initial Checkout - Distech Controls IO-R-16 Manual

Power up and Initial Checkout

After a remote I/O module is discovered and added to the station under this NrioNetwork (each one as an
Note
Nrio34Module), the serial status LEDs for the EC-BOS's RS-485 port continually flash, reflecting polling
activity. At this time, the "STATUS" LED on that IO-R-34 module lights solid green.
Blinking of a remote I/O module's status LED indicates that the unit is NOT Online.
Each input or output used requires a special Remote Input/Output (Nrio) point to be added in the station database. These
components act as the station interface to the physical I/O points. The Nrio points you need for each input or output type
are noted in previous wiring sections in boldface. For Nrio software details, see the Nrio Driver Guide.

Apply power to the IO-R-34.

The IO-R-34 module's board status LED
Using EC-Net Pro, open a station connection to the EC-BOS-8. If not already present, add an

NrioNetwork component to the station's Drivers Container.
Configure the NrioNetwork's "Port Name" property to match the EC-BOS-8's RS-485 port COM

assignment (for example, COM2), and set its "Trunk" property to a unique number Nrio-wide (i.e., 2).
From the NrioNetwork's Nrio Device Manager view, perform a Discover.
Step 4
Each discovered remote I/O module will be listed in the top "Discovered" pane in the view, with each
IO-R-34 appearing as an "Io34" device type.
To associate a discovered device to a specific IO-R-34, issue a right-click "Wink Device" action—this
Note
cycles a relay output on that IO-R-34 several times, which you can hear or see if nearby. This action
is available both before and after a discovered device is added to the station.
Add each discovered IO-R-34 to the station, renaming to reflect its actual location (see Note above). Each
Step 5
IO module is represented by an Nrio34Module component.
Verify that each IO-R-34 module's board status LED is now lit solid green.
Step 6
If an Nrio34Module is selected in the Nrio Device Manager view, and the Upgrade Firmware button is
Note
active, it is recommended that you upgrade its firmware. After selecting this, do not interrupt power to
the IO-R-34 and EC-BOS, or the communications between them, until the firmware upgrade job
finishes. Typically, this takes less than 2 minutes, with job completion signaled in the EC-Net Pro view.
You can now discover, add, and configure IO points under each Nrio34Module's Points device extension.
Step 7
For more details about Nrio components, refer to the NRIO Driver Guide, also available in EC-Net Pro
online Help (doc Nrio).
