Add the ArmorPoint I/O Modules to the I/O Configuration

You now add the ArmorPoint I/O modules to the I/O Configuration List under
the adapter.

In this example, you add a 1738-IB4M12 24V DC digital input module, a
1738-OB4EM12 24V DC digital output module, a 1738-IE2CM12 analog
current input module, and a 1738-OE2CM12 analog current output module
with standard configurations. Use these steps as a guide when you are configuring
different I/O modules for your system.

Add the Digital Input Module

1. Highlight the 1738-AENT/B adapter under the I/O Configuration

folder, right-click and select New Module.

The Select Module Type dialog opens.

2. Select the appropriate filter for Module Type Category (for the example we

selected Digital) and Module Type Vendor (for the example we selected
Allen-Bradley).

Note: to select only one category you will need to unselect those already
selected.

TIP

This example application uses the I/O modules’ default
configurations. For more information, see the ArmorPoint I/O
Selection Guide, publication

1738-SG001

.

IMPORTANT

If the 1738-AENT/B chassis base size is exceeded, (that is, you try to
add more modules than you configured) the New Module selection is
dimmed out and disabled. You are not able to add any more
ArmorPoint I/O modules until the 1738-AENT/B chassis base size is
increased.
