Using the eIO module

WARNING

Close the FieldPoint Explorer application when you want

to activate the eIO module. Both applications attempt to

allocate the distributed I/O resources, and therefore cannot run

concurrently. If one application is active, the other one cannot

run simultaneously.

You must adjust the configuration of each module and contact prior to

using eIO. You can use the built-in functions of the FieldPoint Explorer

to monitor the status and measured levels on attached peripherals. For

analogue input, be careful to select the correct input range and unit of

measurement. For discrete output, pay close attention to the startup value.

To determine the configuration values needed to correctly configure the

eIO_MODULE, eIO_AI, eIO_DI and eIO_DO configuration tables, use the

FieldPoint Explorer software. You must configure the DECT Messenger

database before you launch the eIO module. When everything is correctly

configured, the eIO window shows information similar to the illustrations in

Figure 9 "eIO module" (page 144) and Figure 10 "eIO connections" (page

145), and in Figure 11 "Analogue input module" (page 145) through Figure

13 "Digital output module" (page 146).
