Adding RX3i I/O Modules to a Remote Node

For a list of currently supported I/O modules, refer to the Important Product Information document provided
with the firmware version on your CEP Carrier.
Configuring Modules with Sub-modules
Some PACSystems RX3i I/O modules have functionality that must be configured before operation; otherwise
Proficy Machine Edition indicates an error on the module.

Figure 14: Add Sub-Module for Slot 1 Device

To complete the configuration, right click the slot containing the IO Module (Figure 14) and select Change
Submodule List. This opens a dialog box that presents a list of sub-module options.
Configuring Modules with Multiple Modes of Operation
Some PACSystems RX3i analog modules have multiple modes of operation that change the acceptable
maximum limits for their configuration values. For example, an IC695ALG616 analog input module supports a
different set of A/D Scaling Units when in 4 to 20mA operation than when it is in -10V to +10V operation
(Figure 15).
These different configuration options are implemented as groups of controls which are activated by a choice
made outside of the group and marked with ± expander controls. Typically, this choice is directly preceding the
first group.
If multiple options are available, only the controls associated with the active choice are used. The other
settings are maintained, but are ignored by the module. To prevent confusion, it is recommended that only the
active choice be expanded. The state of the expander control does not affect the choice of active controls. If
the active setting is collapsed and not visible, it is still active and its values are used for the module
configuration.
