Configure Points

After setting up the basic model for each device, configure the I/O points. There are two ways to access the I/O points configuration
screen:

1. Use the Configure Points tab; or
2. Click on the hyperlinked device number in the left column of the Select Models table to access the Expanded Configure Points

page (see the Expanded Configure Points section).

Refer to the device’s data sheet for factory default information.

Note: If you leave any Web Configurator screen without clicking the Change button to submit the changes to the Ethernet Bridge or
GatewayPro, all changes are lost.

Setting Up I/O Points

To set up an I/O point:

1. Select the I/O Enabled checkbox. Any active I/O point must be enabled or the I/O is ignored.
2. Select an I/O type from the I/O Selection drop-down list.
3. The Configure Points sample screen shows a Gateway defined with four discrete IN, four discrete OUT, two analog IN, and two

analog OUT points. Always refer to the device data sheet to determine which discrete and which analog I/O points are active for a
given device. Note, however, that the NPN and PNP settings for discrete I/O shown on the data sheet are only default configuration
settings and can be changed.

4. Define any applicable parameters, e.g. sample interval, report interval, hysteresis, threshold, or any other parameter displaying on

the main or expanded view screens.

5. After setting up all I/O points using either the Configure Points tab or the expanded Configure Points screen, click the Change

button to submit the changes to the Ethernet Bridge or GatewayPro.

6. To send all I/O data to the devices, use the Select Models screen by selecting the Send ALL checkbox and clicking the Update

button. To send the individual I/O point changes, use the expanded Configure Points screen and the Send button.
