Grouping Channels
Grouping inputs allows you to divide your system into subsystems. You
can group channels with a common purpose according to your specific
application requirements. One group might be for a furnace or a group
of furnaces; another group might be for common Jobs shared between
devices.
Only the channels of one group are displayed on the Overview screen at
a time. The job parameters are uploaded or downloaded to an individual
group independently. The number of controllers with their total number
of channels must match the number of channels in the grouping. The
channel numbering depends upon the type of input selected in the
SCANINST program.
After assigning the channel numbers to a group, select a type number of
two digits up to 99. This number is the job directory number for the
group and its channels. All groups with the same type number will be
assigned to the same job directory. Creating a new type number creates
a new job directory number in the ANASCAN program.
