4-9 GFK-0121E Chapter 4 Device Configuration: Overview
Add Modules and Assign References
The first module configuration screen looks like this:
Slot
number Rack
number
Use F1 and F2 to display
another slot (module)
< > t g l r e a d
R O : S 1 E M P T Y
The Rack Number is always 0.
The Slot Number refers to the location of the
module relative to the BIU or Field Processor.
Read a Module Identification
If there is a module in the currently-selected slot,
pressing F4 (read) from the “empty slot” screen
brings up the module identification screen:
D i s c r e t e O u t 1 6

t g l e n t r
R O : S 1 M o d t y p e ?
H If you want to change the module type dis-
played, press F3 (tgl) to list other module types.
H To accept the module type, press F4 (entr).
Select a Module Type
If a module is not present in the selected slot, press
F3 (tgl) to select Generic I/O or Special I/O. Then
press F4 (entr).
G e n e r i c I / O
t g l e n t r
R O : S 1 I / O t y p e ?
H Use the F3 (tgl) key again to go through the
module names.
H When the correct module name appears, press
F4 (entr).
Assign I/O References for the Module
After you “accept” a module into the slot, a screen
like this appears:
I_
e n t r
R O : S 1 I 1 6
Specify the I/O references to be used by the
module. For most applications, you can simply
have the BIU/Field Processor assign the next
available references in that memory type.
A. To assign the next available references, just
press F4 (entr).
B. If you want to assign specific references, enter
the starting address. Press F4 (entr).
Module references are automatically assigned by
the BIU or Field Processor based on its configured
data addresses and the number of points
appropriate for the module type.
Editing a Module Configuration
To edit the module’s configuration, press F4 (zoom).
Refer to the module configuration instructions in the
BIU/Field Processor User’s Manual.
Delete an Existing Module Configuration
To delete the configuration of the module in the
present slot, press F3 (delete) then F4 (enter). Note
that this removes the entire module configuration.
Configuring Module Features
Configure additional module features as described in
the BIU/Field Processor User’s Manual. For example:
H Change the module’s reference address.
H Module Fault Reporting (discrete)
H Default inputs (or outputs) or Hold Last State
(discrete and analog)
H Channel Fault Reporting (analog)
H Channel Active (analog)
H Input Current/Voltage Ranges (analog)
H Input or output scaling (analog)
H Alarm thresholds (analog)
H Output default values (analog)
