SeaI/O Configuration Tab
Once the host computer is configured correctly, the “SeaI/O Configuration” tab
becomes available.
Before communicating with a SeaI/O module, the configuration utility must
determine if there is a SeaI/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.
Once a slave ID is selected, click the “Get SeaI/O Device Settings” button. After a
short delay, the information for that SeaI/O module should be displayed. If no
information appears, verify the host settings and baud rates are correct and make
changes, if necessary. Check the hardware settings (on the left side of the module)
and try again.
