SeaI/O Manual 42
Once the host computer is configured correctly, the “SeaI/O Configuration” tab becomes
available. Before communicating with a SeaI/O module, the configuration utility must
determine if there is an I/O module at that slave ID address, and if so, what type of module it is.
This is the purpose of the Get operation.
To perform a Get operation, first select the slave ID to which the module is configured. SeaI/O
modules are shipped at hardware setting 0 (labeled “ADDR” on the left side of the module) and
slave ID 247 by default. All other slave ID addresses (from 1 to 246) are available. However,
each daisy chained SeaI/O module must have a unique slave ID address - no duplicates are
allowed.
Once a slave ID is selected, click the “Get SeaIO Module Settings” button. After a short delay,
the information for that I/O module should be displayed. If no information appears, verify the
slave ID, host settings, and baud rates are correct and make changes, if necessary. Check the
hardware settings (on the left side of the module) and try again.
