Install Your ArmorBlock MaXum I/O Module
To install the module:
•
Set the node address
•
Mount the module to the cable base
•
Connect the cord sets
•
Communicate with the module
These steps are explained in more detail in the following 
procedures.
Set the Node Address
Valid node addresses are 00 to 63.
Set the node address using the rotary switches, RSNetWorx for 
DeviceNet
, DeviceNetManager
, or other software configuration
tool. Setting the switches between 64 to 99 lets the software have 
address control.
Each module is shipped set for node address 63. The switches are 
located on the underside of the module. The two switches are:
•
MSD (most significant digit)
•
LSD (least significant digit)
To reset the node address, use a small blade screwdriver to rotate the 
switches. Line up the small black dot on the switch with the number 
setting you wish to use.
The rotary switches are read at module power up only. Settings 
between 64 and 99 cause the module to use the last valid node 
address stored internally. Example: The last setting was 40. If a 
change is made to 68, and then you power up, the address will 
default to 40.
The module is equipped with AutoBaud detect. AutoBaud lets the 
module read the settings already in use on your DeviceNet network 
and automatically adjusts to follow those settings.
