SeaI/O Configuration Tab
Once the host computer is configured correctly, the “SeaI/O Configuration” tab
becomes available. This tab only appears for SeaI/O and SeaDAC modules and will
not appear when using SeaDAC Lite modules.
Before communicating with a SeaI/O or SeaDAC module, the configuration utility
must determine if there is an I/O module at that slave ID address, and if so, what type
of module it is. This is the purpose of the Get operation.
To perform a Get operation, first select the slave ID to which the module is
configured. SeaI/O modules are shipped at hardware setting 0 (labeled “ADDR” on
the left side of the module) and slave ID 247 by default. All other slave ID addresses
(from 1 to 246) are available. However, each daisy chained SeaI/O module must have
a unique slave ID address - no duplicates are allowed.
SeaDAC modules are only available on slave ID 247, and this number cannot be
changed. To communicate with a different SeaDAC module, select a different COM
port. Use device manager, if necessary, to locate the proper COM port.
Once a slave ID is selected, click the “Get SeaIO Module Settings” button. After a
short delay, the information for that I/O module should be displayed. If no
information appears, verify the host settings and baud rates are correct and make
changes, if necessary. For SeaDAC modules, make sure the baud rate is set to
9600bps. For SeaI/O modules, check the hardware settings (on the left side of the
module) and try again.
