Rockwell Automation 61C23 AutoMate Local I/O Head - Manual (Page 13)

4.0 CONFIGURATION
Configuration is a method of describing how the system software and
the I/O are related. The process of configuring the Local I/O Head is
dependent upon the host. If the host is an AutoMate, use the
AutoMate Programming Executive Software (M/N 45C130 or M/N
45C131) to perform the configuration. Note that the registers in which
the configuration will be stored are dependent upon the register
assignments of the particular model number.
If the Local I/O Head will be communicating through the DCS
5000/AutoMax Remote I/O Head with a DCS 5000 or AutoMax host,
use the appropriate Executive software to create the configuration
that will include the registers/points accessed through the Head. Use
Executive software M/N 57C300Ć57C303 for DCS 5000 Processors
and M/N 57C304Ć57C307, M/N 57C390Ć57C393, or M/N 57C395Ć
57C397 for AutoMax Processors. See below for more specific
information on configuring the Head. Note that if the Local I/O Head
will be connected to a rail that contains a M/N 45C42 Dual Electronic
Input module, that rail must be plugged into ports 1, 2, or 3 only.
4.1 Local I/O Head withAutoMate 20
Four registers are reserved for configuring the Local I/O Head for use
with an AutoMate 20. These registers and the configuration value to
be written for each are listed below in a sample configuration for four
Local I/O Heads:

4.2 Local I/O Head withAutoMate 30,
AutoMate 40, or Local I/O Processor
When using the Local I/O Head with the AutoMate 30 or 40, or the
Local I/O Processor, only the first register of the four that are needed
for the configuration needs to be specified. The Executive software
automatically assigns the next three contiguous registers for the
configuration. Note that even if only one port of the Head is being
used, four contiguous registers are still reserved for the configuration.
See below for sample configurations.
