Rockwell Automation 1769-SM1 Compact I/O to DPI/SCANport Module - Manual (Page 32)

3-2 Configuring the Module
The 1769-SM1 has two methods for configuration, which are determined
by the Configuration Mode switch (
Figure 2.1 ) on the module:
• Controller mode - The 1769-SM1 uses the configuration data
downloaded from the controller on power-up and when the controller
is placed in run mode.
• Parameter mode - The 1769-SM1 uses its internal parameter setting
to configure the module.
Only one type of configuration is selected, and it is used for all three
channels.
Controller mode is required if only SCANport products (1336 PLUS II,
etc.) are connected to the module. This is because SCANport peripherals
(HIMs, etc.) cannot configure other peripherals, for example, the
1769-SM1. DPI products (PowerFlex 70, etc.) have the option of being
used in Controller mode.
If one or more DPI products (PowerFlex 70, etc.) are connected, even if a
SCANport product (1336 PLUS II, etc.) is also connected, Parameter
mode can be used. This is because DPI peripherals (20-HIMs, etc.) have
the ability to configure other peripherals connected to the PowerFlex
drive, for example, the 1769-SM1.
When the Configuration Mode switch is in the default “Controller”
position, the 1769-SM1 uses the configuration data downloaded from the
controller on power-up and when the controller is placed in run mode.
Configuration data is allocated and entered using RSLogix500 or
RSLogix 5000, depending on the controller used. Controller mode can
be used for either DPI (PowerFlex 70, etc.) or SCANport (1336 PLUS II,
etc.) products.
The 1769-SM1 module contains 60 words of configuration data that are
used to configure the I/O data and the module's behavior when the
controller faults or is placed in program mode.
