8. MCN Addressing with CHIB Modules
Like any other module in the MCN family, the CHIB module must have a unique
address on the network.
8.1 AIB or CIB Addressing
Version 100 of the CHIB module uses a fixed address for its companion AIB or
CIB module. It always looks for that module at Group 00 : Module 0.
The AIB or CIB Module that is used with the CHIB module must be
addressed at:
Group 00 Module 0.
8.2 CHIB Address Setting (Group & Module Switches)
The CHIB module is a User Interface module in the MCN system. The MCN
System Manual and System Planner suggest that all User Interface modules be
assigned to addresses starting at Group 80. This recommendation is only for
convenience of planning your address map. The only real limitation on a CHIB
address is that it must be unique. Therefore, in a system with just an AIB (or CIB)
and a number of CHIB modules, the AIB or CIB would be addressed at 00:0 and
the CHIBs would all be set to different addresses.
Some remote applications require multiple consoles to connect to a remote AIB or
CIB using EXB modules. To ensure unique CHIB addressing in these
applications, we ship the CHIB modules pre-addressed. The addresses are unique,
and are based upon the CHIB serial number. The addresses are printed on the
Serial Number tag. The addresses start at Group:Module 00:1 and are
incremented sequentially as shown:
Serial
Number
Group Module
1001 01 1
1002 01 2
1003 01 3
… … …
1009 01 9
1010 01 A
1011 01 B
1012 01 C
1013 01 D
1014 01 E
1015 01 F
1016 02 0
1017 02 1
If these addresses conflict with your system's address map, simply change the
CHIB addresses.
