Configuring ION Modules for Digital and Analog I/O

Designer software lets you change the configuration of existing modules or create new modules. Below are general considerations for using Designer software:

When using Designer software for configuration, ensure Show Toolbox is selected from the Tools menu.

From the toolbox you can search for the module you want to create or modify and click on the icon.

Right-click on the module to display existing modules. If you want to edit an existing module, click on that module to jump to its location.

To create a new module, left-click its icon and drag it onto the workspace.

Right-click on the module icon to access setup registers. You can read the input or output register owners by Shift Left-clicking on the either side of the module.

Configuring modules for digital or analog I/O

1.Once you have connected the external I/O field equipment to the appropriate input or output ports, run Designer software, and open the meter template.

2.If required, create the appropriate module for each input or output port you are going to use.

3.Link the Source input of these modules to a value you want to reflect through the desired outputs, or configure the input Port setup register to match the input port you want to monitor.

4.Configure the settings of the controlling module to match your requirements. The various module settings for each module are found under the appropriate Module Settings heading.

These software modules have Port registers that allow you to specify which port handles the incoming or outgoing signals.

1.Locate the appropriate module in Designer.

2.Right-click the module to open the ION Module Setup.

3.Modify the Port setup register by picking from the enumerated list.

The enumerated list only shows those ports which have not already been assigned to another module.

Port DO4 has already been assigned to another module, so it is absent from the list.
