A-Net Receive
The A‑Net Receive section displays information about the current network
mode, which can be set to Auto or Manual only at the network’s Control
Master. When the Pro64 network is operating in Auto Mode, the red Auto LED
will be lit, and no user settings are available on a per‑module basis. It does
not matter which rear‑panel A‑Net port (A or B) is used when connecting
devices to the network.
Selection button
Only the Control Master can set the network mode to Auto or Manual.
In Manual Mode, the user has the option of using A‑Net data from either
A‑Net port on the rear of the 6416o Output Module. Once the Control Master
has set the network to operate in Manual Mode, the red Manual LED and at
least one of the yellow Port LEDs will be lit on every Pro64 I/O module.
Two options are available:
P
ort
a • ‑ the 6416o receives data from Port A on the rear
panel
P
ort
• B ‑ the 6416o receives data from Port B on the rear
panel
A-Net data will be received from
Port B in Manual Mode in this
example.
Changing the A-Net Receive Port
This applies to Manual Mode only; no user settings are available in Auto
Mode. The VDCs are not affected by the network mode.
Use the selector button below the Auto/Manual Mode LED readout to cycle
