Important notes
Note that DECT Messenger has the following limitations:
A single eIO instance can handle communications through either a
FP-1000 module (RS-232) or a FP-1600 module (Ethernet). So for
each FP-1000 or FP-1600, you need an instance of an eIO module.
DECT Messenger supports the connection of only one eIO module.
While some environments are known to be stable with more than
one eIO module attached to a DECT Messenger, this is not officially
supported by the authors of the eIO module. Contact Nortel product
support before attaching more than one eIO.
The eIO instance that handles an FP-1000 or FP-1600 can connect
to other modules, such as FP-1001 and FP-1601, to build a
tree-structure. The string can attach FP-AI-100, DP-DI-300, FP-DI-301,
FP-DI-330, and FP-DO-401 modules.
Note: DECT Messenger eIO is designed to support a maximum of
eight modules attached to an eIO instance. Connecting more that
eight modules is possible; however, because eIO can only handle
eight modules, the remaining modules are non operational from the
perspective of DECT Messenger.
At this stage, you must decide whether to use FP-1000 or FP-1600 to
connect the eIO instance. The following sections provide examples of
environments using FP-1000 and FP-1600, as follows:
“Example 1: sample environment using FP-1000 module” (page 121)
“Example 2: sample environment using FP-1600 module” (page 131)
Example 1: sample environment using FP-1000 module
Note:
Consult the National Instruments web site at http://www.ni.com to
obtain more information on installing and configuring the distributed
I/O modules.
The following four tables provide configuration examples for a sample
environment using FP-1000 module, as follows:
Table 2 "Example 1a - FP-1000 module - Connect hardware modules"
(page 122)
Table 3 "Example 1b - FP-1000 module - Adjust module configuration"
