A unit address planning worksheet is provided in Appendix A - Unit Address
Worksheet
that allows you to record the unit addressing information for your
comparator display system. Using the system shown in Figure 7 as an example,
the worksheet would look like the following:

* You must set the Bank # on the IIBs. CIBs and HIBs are factory-configured for
Bank 0 only. AIBs are factory-set for Banks 0 and 1.

With this worksheet, you now have a record of your MCN system configuration,
which can help reduce system troubleshooting time.

7.2 Grounding

A chassis ground connection is available on all MCN modules. This connection
point is provided by a screw hole that is marked on the bottom of the case.

CAUTION

Make sure that the screw used for grounding and mounting does not protrude into
the enclosure more than 1/8 inches from the bottom surface of the module.

Using a larger screw that touches the PC board inside the module may damage the
module when it is powered. Doing so will void the unit’s warranty.
