Installing NonĆstandard I/O
This chapter describes how to install non-standard I/O, in particular, how
to make hardware selections to specify the I/O addressing. To install this
non-standard I/O, follow the general procedures described in this chapter
and the publication for the specific adapter. This chapter covers:
setting Direct Communication Module switches
setting PLC interface module switches
setting 1785 PLC-5 processor switches
setting RediPANEL switches
Conventions
In this chapter, we show and describe switches as being on or off. Printed
on the actual switch assemblies are the words ON and OFF or the word
OPEN. OPEN corresponds to OFF. In some cases, the switch has a
toggling lever that you push down toward the board or lift up away from
the board. In those cases, we may describe the switches as being up
or down.
An I/O chassis contains an I/O adapter and I/O modules. In a broader
sense, we sometimes use the term I/O chassis to include hardware such as
Bulletin 2705 RediPANEL modules with built-in I/O interfaces. We do
this because the built-in I/O interface communicates with the I/O scanner
over the I/O link in the same way that an I/O adapter in an I/O chassis (in
the narrow sense) does.
To install a direct communication module (cat. no. 1771-DCM), set the
switches of switch-bank 0 as described in publication 1771-6.5.27. Set the
switches of switch-bank 1 as described here. Set switches 1 through 6 to
select the I/O rack number and set switches 7 and 8 to select the starting
I/O group as shown in
Figure 8.1 .
