11.2.1.2 Configuration This section demonstrates the configuration process for RP20 series I/O modules using the RP20 series EtherCAT coupler as an example. The RP20 series offers 2 configuration methods: Method 1: Configuration via scanning. This method requires an actual slave device to be connected.
RP20 series analog I/O module user manual Method 2: Configuration by manually adding modules. For this method, the order of module addition must match the actual connection sequence of the modules; otherwise, communication errors will occur. Fig. 11.2.1-6 Add the coupler Fig.

RP20 series analog I/O module user manual 11.2.2.2 Usage Demonstration Step 1: Variable mapping Method 1: Address mapping (Byte /Bit). Map the address of the corresponding I/O channel to the specific variable or use the channel address directly when the variable is defined.
Page 47
RP20 series analog I/O module user manual Method 2: Direct address mapping (Byte /Bit ). On the” Module I/O Mapping” page, map the I/O channel address to a specific variable. Fig. 11.2.2-5 Map variables in Byte format on the Module I/O Mapping page Step 2: Configure startup parameters On the parameter page of the corresponding module, set startup parameters.
RP20 series analog I/O module user manual 12 Error Diagnostics When the module's Err indicator (red) lights up, it indicates a fault in the module. The fault code can be obtained through the online monitoring interface of the master station software. The object dictionary for the fault code is 0xAXXX.
