Selecting Input and Output
Assemblies

The 1329I unit uses Assembly Objects to send data to and from a scanner
over an I/O connection. The terms input and output are defined from the
scanner’s point of view. An output assembly is the information that is output
by the scanner and consumed by the 1329I unit. An input assembly is the
status data that sent by the 1329I unit and consumed as input by the scanner.
Refer to

Chapter 5

for a discussion on control I/O and assemblies.

DeviceNet parameters P107 - [Output Assembly] and P108 - [Input
Assembly]
must be set with the output or input assembly for your system.

1. In the Device Configuration - Enhanced Mode dialog box (

Figure 3.8

),

double-click Parameter 107 - [Output Assembly]. The Device
Configuration - Modify Numeric Parameter dialog box appears.

Figure 3.11 Modifying the Output Assembly Parameter

2. Select the desired assembly number, and then click Save to Device.

Refer to the

Parameter List

in

Appendix B

for a list of values.

3. Click OK to close the dialog box.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for Parameter 108 - [Input Assembly].

Enabling Network Control

In order for a scanner to control the 1329I unit (e.g., start or stop), the 1329I
unit must be configured to accept commands from the network.

Important: The drive requires a stop input at the control terminal block,

regardless of the setting of Parameter 34 - [Start Source].

1. In the Device Configuration - Enhanced Mode dialog box (

Figure 3.8

),

double-click Parameter 34 - [Start Source]. The Device Configuration
- Modify Enumerated Parameter dialog box appears.

ATTENTION: Hazard of equipment damage, injury, or death
exists. Changing the source of control may cause unpredictable
network conditions, resulting in equipment damage, injury, or
death. Ensure that you understand how a change affects your
application.
