Configure Your Module 19
Use Sequential Auto Addressing
Sequential Auto Addressing (SAA) reassigns the node address of every module
to the right of the one you select. Each module changes its node address to
one greater than its neighbor.
When this command is set, each module to the right gets a new address one
greater than its neighbor. The addressing ripples through a line of POINT I/O
modules, assigning a node number to each module installed in a mounting
base.
Perform this procedure to Auto Address a line of POINT I/O modules.
1. Set the address of the first module you want to address.
2. Set the Auto Address command to Sequential Address.
3. All modules in line reset with new sequential addresses.
An example is if 5 POINT I/O modules are in a line, and the address of the
first module is 10. After the Sequential Address command is sent to the first
module, the node address of the line is: 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14.
Use Third Party Configuration Software
When using third party configuration software, simply load the EDS files into
the software and follow the designer’s instructions.
Add the Adapter to Your
Network
You can use the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software, or some other
configuration tool for DeviceNet, to configure your module. If the EDS files
are not in your software, you can get them at
.ab.com/networks/eds/
.
You can configure the module while it is:
• online.
• offline.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the node address of the selected module is the
desired value before issuing the SAA command.
