6. Click OK to save the new settings to the sensor’s flash RAM.
The sensor can also be configured to use the I/O Expansion Module by opening the Discrete
Input dialog and following steps
4 - 6, as described above.
Once the I/O Expansion Module is selected in either the Discrete Input or Discrete Output
dialogs, it is automatically enabled for both inputs and outputs, and hardware handshaking
may be used in serial communications.
NOTE:
When an existing .JOB file containing a WriteDiscrete function is loaded on a sensor to which
the I/O Expansion Module has just been added, the Start Bit and Number of Bits parameters
in WriteDiscrete must be changed to reflect the new configuration of the I/O lines. For
example, the physical output lines 0 and 1 become lines 8 and 9 (HSOUT 0 and HSOUT 1)
when the I/O Expansion Module is enabled.
NOTE:
An error message will appear if the I/O Expansion Module is not attached to the sensor, and
the Discrete Output dialog will return to its default configuration. Verify that the I/O Expansion
Module is connected, then repeat steps
1 - 6 as described above.
