S908 Network Configuration

Before you can scan a Modicon S908 remote I/O network, you must
configure the network in the AN-X-MOD (Master).

There are two methods of configuring the S908 remote I/O that the AN-
X-MOD (Master) is to scan:

• autoconfiguration. The AN-X-MOD (Master) reads the network

contents by sending messages to the attached network and building
the configuration from the replies it receives.

• manual configuration. You build a configuration file and send it to

the AN-X-MOD (Master).

You can also use autoconfiguration to build an initial configuration file,
edit the file to add or change features, then perform a manual
configuration with the modified file.

Autoconfiguration

Before you can perform an autoconfiguration, the remote I/O network
must be connected to the AN-X.

From the AN-X web interface, select Automation Network/S908 I/O
Network Configuration
