Overview

The 1203-GD1 and 1203-GK1 modules mount on a DIN rail. They
connect to a SCANport product using a SCANport cable and to the
Remote I/O link using a Remote I/O cable. The 1336-GM1 board
mounts directly onto selected SCANport products. It connects to a
SCANport product using an internal SCANport connector and to the
Remote I/O link using a Remote I/O cable.

Figure 1.2 shows how the modules connect SCANport products to the
Remote I/O link.

Features of the
Communications Module

The 1203-GD1 module, 1203-GK1 module, and 1336-GM1 board let
you connect SCANport products to Remote I/O links and devices.
These modules feature the following:

DIP switches let you configure how the Remote I/O module
operates before connecting it to the link.

User-configurable fault action DIP switches let you customize the
module actions when communication errors occur.

LEDs report link, module, and SCANport product health.

Datalinks are supported in the module. Datalinks are a SCANport
mechanism for transferring information between a controller and
SCANport device. Each enabled datalink uses two words in the
I/O image table unless it is truncated.
