Publication 1792D-IN041B-EN-P - September 2000

Install Your ArmorBlock MaXum I/O Module

To install the module you must:

• Set the node address

• Mount the module to the cable base

• Connect the output cord sets to the MaXum module

• Communicate with your ArmorBlock MaXum I/O module

Each of these steps is discussed in the following procedures.

Set the Node Address

Valid node addresses are 00 to 63.

Set the node address using the rotary switches, DeviceNetManager

software, RSNetWorx for DeviceNet

™ software, or another software

configuration tool. Setting the switches between 64 to 99 lets the
software have address control.

Each module is shipped with the node address set to 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.
