Use F1 and F2 to display another slot (module)
The Rack Number is always 0.
The Slot Number refers to the location of the module relative to the BIU or Field Processor.

HIf you want to change the module type dis- played, press F3 (tgl) to list other module types.
HTo accept the module type, press F4 (entr).
Select a Module Type
If a module is not present in the selected slot, press F3 (tgl) to select Generic I/O or Special I/O. Then press F4 (entr).

HUse the F3 (tgl) key again to go through the module names.
HWhen the correct module name appears, press F4 (entr).
Assign I/O References for the Module
After you ªacceptº a module into the slot, a screen like this appears:
R O : S 1 | I 1 6 |
I_
e n t r
Specify the I/O references to be used by the module. For most applications, you can simply have the BIU/Field Processor assign the next available references in that memory type.
A.To assign the next available references, just press F4 (entr).
B.If you want to assign specific references, enter the starting address. Press F4 (entr).
Module references are automatically assigned by the BIU or Field Processor based on its configured data addresses and the number of points appropriate for the module type.
Editing a Module Configuration
To edit the module's configuration, press F4 (zoom). Refer to the module configuration instructions in the BIU/Field Processor User's Manual.
Delete an Existing Module Configuration
To delete the configuration of the module in the present slot, press F3 (delete) then F4 (enter). Note that this removes the entire module configuration.
Configuring Module Features
Configure additional module features as described in the BIU/Field Processor User's Manual. For example:
HChange the module's reference address.
HModule Fault Reporting (discrete)
HDefault inputs (or outputs) or Hold Last State (discrete and analog)
HChannel Fault Reporting (analog)
HChannel Active (analog)
HInput Current/Voltage Ranges (analog)
HInput or output scaling (analog)
HAlarm thresholds (analog)
HOutput default values (analog)
