1. Set the system
information
Each module requires a:
• System address – common to all modules in
the same system. The WI-I/O 9-L uses the
system address to prevent “cross-talk” between
modules in different systems; and
• Unique unit address – that uniquely identifies
the module in a system.

on page 54.
2. Configure the
individual units
Lets you select the individual units, modify unit
addresses and set the properties for each unit.
Working with units on
page 43.
3. Compile the system Lets you check your system configuration, report any
errors and generate configuration files for each unit.

information into a unit
on page 93.
5. Test the system Let you test the system (including all modules) to
help easily identify any problems.
We recommend you bench test the complete system
before installing a new system.
Configuration problems are easier to identify and fix
when the modules are nearby.
