5-2 Grouped Mode
How to Configure the
Adapter for Grouped Mode You can select the following modules in the configuration tool:
1. Module without configuration data (e.g. 1734-OB2E/no config)
2. Module with configuration data (e.g. 1734-OB2E/with config)
3. Empty slot module (e.g. 1734-OB2E/empty slot)
4. Grouped module (e.g. 1734-OB2E/grouped)
5. Grouped empty slot module (e.g. 1734-OB2E/grouped empty
slot)
By combining these modules, groups can be created in 3 different
ways:
1. A group of modules with configuration data
2. A group of modules without configuration data (default
configuration will be used for all modules in the group)
3. A group of empty slot modules
The following example illustrates how to group modules in a single
byte.
1. Select the 1734-OB2E (hardware type 1) from the hardware catalog.
The adapter will open a byte and store the first 1734-OB2E module there.
2. Select the 1734-OB2E (hardware type 4 - grouped) from the hardware catalog.
The adapter will store the second 1734-OB2E in the opened byte.
3. Select the 1734-OB2E (hardware type 4 - grouped) from the hardware catalog.
The adapter will store the third 1734-OB2E in the opened byte.
4. Select the 1734-OB2E (hardware type 4 - grouped) from the hardware catalog.
The adapter will store the fourth 1734-OB2E in the opened byte.
If more modules are to be grouped, a new byte has to be opened (repeat steps 1 through 4).
