Setting the Rack Address

If adapter Configuration DIP Switches SW7 and SW8 (

Figure 2.2

) are both

set to ‘On’, the value of Parameter 03 - [RIO Addr Cfg] determines the
rack address. Note these points:

• Although the adapter supports rack addresses between 00 and 77 octal,

not all controllers recognize all of the addresses, and a Remote I/O
channel can support only 32 devices.

• PLC-2 controllers identify rack addresses differently than other

controllers. PLC-2 controllers identify the adapter rack address as one
plus the value of the parameter setting.

1. See

Table 3.A

to determine the decimal equivalent of the octal address to

be used.

The rack address must be unique.

Table 3.A Rack Addresses (Decimal Equivalent versus Octal)

2. Set the value of Parameter 03 - [RIO Addr Cfg] to the decimal

equivalent of the octal address to be used.

The address is entered and displayed as a decimal value, but is
internally converted to an octal address.

Important: The HIM and software tools, such as DriveExplorer or

DriveExecutive, will display the address as a decimal value.

3. Reset the adapter (see

Resetting the Adapter on page 3-8

).
