Publication 999-122 - January 1997

RIO Rack Address

The Rack Address parameter–along with the Rack Size and Starting
Group–determine where in I/O space the IMC-S/23x "appears" to the
RIO scanner. Enter the desired rack address for the IMC-S/23x in your
system and press ENTER. If your are communicating with a PLC using
RIO, do not enter 0 for the rack address. Rack 0 is reserved for use by
the PLC for local I/O.

RIO Starting Group

The Starting Group parameter–along with the Rack Size and Rack
Address–determine where in I/O space the IMC-S/23x "appears" to the
RIO scanner. Toggle to the desired starting group for your application
and press ENTER. The selectable starting group values are determined
by the previously selected rack width as shown in the table above to
prevent the selection of illegal addresses.

Running the Application
Program on Power-Up

After completing the serial port or RIO configuration, the
IMC-S/23x asks

Toggle to

YES

and press ENTER to configure the IMC-S/23x to

automatically load its application program whenever power is applied
to the unit.

While developing and de-bugging an application program, the usual
setting of this parameter is

NO

. This causes the Standard Operator

Interface to appear on the selected operator interface serial port
(usually B) and/or direct command mode to appear on serial port A
whenever power is applied. When the application program is
completed and de-bugged, this parameter should normally be set to

YES

to cause automatic execution of the application program

whenever power is applied.

!

ATTENTION: Do not enter 0 for the rack address if
you are using RIO to communicate with a PLC.

Run App Program on Power-up? No
