Operating the LIST Function

If you select an I/O channel, you can make the following selections for the
corresponding I/O communication channel:

Communication rate (baud)
I/O

scan

We explain these selections in the following sections.

You can select one of the following communication rates for the
corresponding I/O communication channel:

If you select:

Then:

57.6 kbaud
115.2 kbaud

The maximum I/O channel cable length can be 10,000 feet.
The maximum I/O channel cable length can be 5,000 feet.

You can change the order of execution for an I/O scan of the corresponding
I/O communication channel by selecting the I/O scan selection in LIST.
When you configure an I/O channel for I/O scan, list the I/O chassis in the
order that you want the 1775-S4B scanner to communicate with them. This
allows you to assign a higher priority to some I/O chassis than to others by
listing the higher priority chassis more than once.

As an example, if there are six entries in the I/O chassis list, and entries 1
and 4 are the same, then the chassis listed under entries 1 and 4 will be
updated twice as often as the other chassis. You can list a chassis as often
as you desire, provided that the list contains no more than 32 entries.

Each I/O chassis is listed once in the default configuration at initial
powerup or after an autoconfigure.

When forming the I/O chassis list, remember the following considerations:

Rack numbers which are not assigned consecutively cause greater

memory requirements by allocating memory for unused racks.

No more than 16 I/O adapters can connect to one I/O communication

channel on the 1775-S4B scanner.

No more than 16 different rack numbers can be assigned to one

1775-S4B scanner.

When using complementary or duplicate I/O, two chassis with the same

rack and starting module group numbers must be on different channels
