I/O Tree Overview
In order to transfer I/O information, the ArmorStart needs to be added to the
I/O tree of the Logix processor. The details of doing this are outside of the
scope of these instructions, but screen captures of the completed
configuration are included below for reference. The configuration below
shows the EtherNetIP card in the Logix chassis slot 1. The 1738-AENT
module is always located at slot zero in the subnet and the ArmorStart
device is located in slot 2 on the subnet. These slots are circled below for
you reference.
Figure 13 Logix Processor I/O Tree
The only configuration that the user needs to be concerned with for the
ArmorPoint communication adapter is either the EtherNet IP address or the
ControlNet node address.
Since there currently is no profile for an ArmorStart device in the I\O Tree,
the 1738-MODULE profile needs to be used as a generic profile. The
standard configuration for an ArmorStart 284A, using this profile is shown
below.
