Install Your ArmorBlock MaXum I/O Module
To install module:
• Set the node address
• Mount the module to the cable base
• Connect the cord sets
• Communicate with the module
Set the Node Address
Valid node addresses are 00 to 63.
Set the node address using the rotary switches, RSNetWorx for DeviceNet™,
DeviceNetManager™, or other software configuration tool. Setting the
switches between 64 to 99 lets the software have address control.
Each module is shipped set for node address 63. The switches are located on
the underside of the module. The two switches are:
• MSD (most significant digit)
• LSD (least significant digit)
To reset the node address, use a small blade screwdriver to rotate the switches.
Line up the small black dot on the switch with the number setting you wish to
use.
The rotary switches are read at module power up only. Settings between 64
and 99 cause the module to use the last valid node address stored internally.
Example: The last setting was 40. If a change is made to 68, and then you
power up, the address will default to 40.
