Configuring a Remote Shark Rack
Use the procedure that follows to add an expansion rack and
modules to a remote Shark rack. Only one expansion rack can be
added to a main Shark rack, regardless of the size of the main rack.
The main rack will contain a Shark Remote I/O Interface module in
slot 0 (adjacent to the Power Supply). Therefore, a main rack with n"
slots will have nĆ1" slots available for I/O modules. All of the slots in
the expansion rack can be used for I/O modules. However, only the
first 10 slots of the main and expansion racks combined can contain
I/O modules.
Step 1.
Select the remote Shark rack you want to configure.
Step 2.
If you want to add an expansion rack, select the end of the
cable that is connected to the Shark rack. An empty
square will be highlighted.
Step 3.
Select Add from the Configure menu. A list box with the
available Shark racks will be displayed.
Step 4.
Select an expansion rack from the list, and then select a
power supply for the expansion rack.
Step 5.
Zoom into the main Shark rack. A rack will be displayed
containing a Shark Remote I/O Interface module in slot 0.
Step 6.
Select an empty slot in the rack.
Step 7.
Select Add from the Configure menu. A list box with the
available modules will be displayed.
Step 8.
Select the module you want to add to the rack.
Step 9.
Select one of the following:
Add Next if you want the module and then add another
module in the next available slot.
Skip if you want to leave the slot empty and move to the
next available slot.
OK to add the module and return to the Remote Rack
diagram.
Cancel to return to the Remote Rack diagram without
adding a module.
Step 10. Configure the expansion rack in the same manner as the
main Shark rack. Note that the slots in the expansion rack
are numbered beginning at one greater than the highest
slot number in the main rack. Slot 10 is the last slot that
may contain an I/O module.
Step 11. When you are done, select Zoom Out from the GoTo
menu to return to the remote I/O network diagram.
