Module Setting

A similar procedure applies for module setting. Note that only the ADAM-5017 and ADAM-5018 analog input modules provide alarm functions.

Once module setting is selected, the proper I/O module can be highlighted. To choose the highlighted module, press <Enter>. If an analog input module was selected, then options to change I/O type, Alarm functions or Channel settings are presented.

Pressing <Enter> for each available parameter will present a window with possible settings. Highlight the preferred setting and press <Enter> to select.

Channel setting configuration allows you to selectively Enable/Disable any of the 8 channels numbered from 0-7. This option is only func- tional in ADAM-5017 and ADAM-5018 modules. Highlight the channel(s) which you wish to change and press the <Spacebar> to toggle between enable or disable. Press <Enter> to accept the change(s) and return to the main menu.

After you have made the changes for a block of parameters, press <ESC>. You will be asked if you are satisfied with the changes you have made or not. Answer "Y" to keep the changes you have made or "N" to leave the values unchanged.
