I/O Terminals
Each I/O terminal is labeled for easy identification on the modules. As mentioned above, ‘COM’ is the
common ground terminal. A terminal with an ‘X’ followed by a number is an input terminal and a
terminal with a ‘Y’ followed by a number is an output terminal. The number refers to the position
associated with each terminal on the I/O module.
When a project is created in MAPware-7000, bit/register memory addresses are assigned for each
terminal on the expansion module. MAPware-7000 provides the option to allow the software to do this
automatically. In this case, it will assign memory addresses according to the position and expansion slot
in which the I/O module is located.
In addition, many of the I/O modules have a two-pin connector that is used to connect a voltage source
(u24VDC). This voltage source drives the output terminals of the I/O modules.
Installing I/O Modules
The expansion modules for the HMC7000 snap onto the back of the HMC7000 thru expansion slots. The
HMC7030A-M and HMI7035A-M units support up to three modules. The HMC7057A-M unit supports up to five
modules.
Configuring the I/O Modules
The I/O expansion modules for the HMC7000 Series are assigned to the proper slot using MAPware-7000. Note
that any project downloaded into a HMC7000 with modules that do not match the physical configuration of the
unit will not run. Therefore, it is important to correctly identify the I/O modules in the MAPware-7000 project.
Regardless of the particular HMC7000 model used, the steps to configure the I/O modules are very similar:
1.
Open a new project and select the appropriate HMC7000 model. Click OK.
2.
On the Project Configuration dialog box, enter the appropriate information and then click OK.
3.
In the Project Information Window, click on the I/O Allocation folder, and then click on the Expansion
folder.
