4. Press the target NI device’s ID button to begin process of reading the current device value of the NI

Controller and then assigning it to the new value entered in step 2.

 Once the swap has been made, a red Successful Identification Made field appears.

 The previous Device value and associated System number of the targeted NI Controller are

then displayed below the red field. For example, the display might show Previous

D:S=32002:1, where 32002 was the previous device value of the Controller (D) and 1 was the

on-board Master’s System value (S).

Resetting the Factory Default System and Device Values

1. Access the Device Addressing dialog (FIG. 17 on page 25) by either one of these two methods:

 Right-click on any system device listed in the Workspace and select Device Addressing.

 Select Diagnostics > Device Addressing from the Main menu.

2. Click the Set Device/System to Factory Default button. This resets both the system value and

device addresses (for definable devices) to their factory default settings. The system information (in

the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window) refreshes and then displays the new information.

3. Click Done to close the Device Addressing dialog.

4. Click Reboot (from the Tools > Reboot the Master Controller dialog) and wait for the System

Master to reboot. The STATUS and OUTPUT LEDs should begin to alternately blink during the

incorporation. Wait until the STATUS LED is the only LED to blink.

5. Press Done once until the Master Reboot Status field reads *Reboot of System Complete*.

6. Click the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the System. The default

System value is one (1).

7. Right-click the associated System number (or anywhere within the tab itself) and select Refresh

System. This establishes a new connection to the specified System and populates the list with

devices on that system.

8. Use Ctrl+S to save the existing NetLinx Project with the new changes.

By setting the system to its default value (#1), Modero panels that were set to

connect to the Master on another System value will not appear in the OnLine Tree

tab of the Workspace window.

For example: A Modero touch panel was previously set to System #2. The system is

then reset to its default setting of System #1 and then refreshed from within the

Workspace window. The panel will not reappear until the system is changed (from

within the System Connection page on the Modero) to match the new value and both

the Master and panel are rebooted.
