Configuring the AN-X2-MOD-MAS S908 Network
Before you can scan a Modicon S908 remote I/O network, you must configure the
network in the AN-X-MOD-MAS.
There are two methods of configuring the S908 remote I/O that the AN-X-MOD-MAS is
to scan:
•
autoconfiguration. The AN-X2-MOD-MAS reads the network contents by
sending messages to the attached network and builds a configuration file
•
manual configuration. You build the configuration file using a text editor and
send it to the AN-X2-MOD-MAS.
You can use autoconfiguration to build an initial configuration file, transfer the file to
your computer, edit the file to add features, then perform a manual configuration with the
modified file.
Auto Configuration
To perform an autoconfiguration, in the web interface first select
Automation
Network/Modicon S908 I/O Network Configuration
.
Click the
Auto-configure Network
button.
AN-X sends messages to all possible drops and builds a configuration based on the
replies it receives. AN-X then displays the configuration it generated. AN-X also
generates a default ControlLogix data mapping configuration based on the I/O it finds
(see page 24).
