Basic Steps of Software Configuration

The Remote I/O Manager software provides a simple default configuration that you

edit to match the actual system modules. The default configuration consists of a

power supply (PWR001) and an NIU (either a Genius NIU or the NIU that was

saved last time the software was used). Carriers and modules are then added in the

same sequence as the hardware installation.

The basic configuration steps are listed below.

Configure the rack type (non-expanded, single-ended expanded, or multi-rack

expanded). This automatically adds the appropriate types of expansion modules

to the racks.

Configure the power supply type and any booster power supplies and carriers.

Configure the NIU. This includes changing the NIU type if necessary, and

assigning its parameters as described on the next page.

Configure the expansion modules if the system has expansion racks.

Add module carriers and define wiring assignments.

Place modules on carriers and select their parameters. Configurable parameters

of I/O modules are described in the

VersaMax Modules, Power Supplies, and

Carriers User’s Manual

(GFK-1504).

Save the configuration file so that it can be stored to the NIU.

For step-by-step instructions, please refer to the
