Nortech Systems RS-422/485 User Manual

 utility file is used to define the sDIO memory block and I/O signal 

mappings. This file contains the main program A.CONFIG_C and is located on the 
CompactFlash in the \UTIL\ directory. See the 

 

manual for instruction on loading and executing this utility. You can check how block 
numbers are assigned by using the SRV.NET monitor command.

NOTE: Blocks 1-15 are typically reserved for robot signals. Blocks 1-6 are 
preconfigured for Robots 1-6 for the 3000 series hand control signals, 
including the signals used by the V+ OPEN, OPENI, CLOSE, CLOSEI, 
RELAX, RELAXI statements. See the V+ documentation for more details 
about these statements.

In the following situations you must go through a configuration process to modify the 
sDIO modules:

• when you have more than one sDIO module.

• when you choose not to use the default I/O configuration (block 16)

• when you have a RIO device in your system. (See 

.)

NOTE: The first sDIO can use the default configuration; each additional 
sDIO must be assigned unique block numbers, between 16 and 31.

In these cases you will use CONFIG_C.V2 to select the block number and to assign the 
Input and Output signals.

1. Load and Execute the CONFIG_C.V2 utility

2. Select Option 6.

Then, press ENTER to continue.

3. Select Option 1.

Then, press ENTER to continue.

4. The system will then report specific information about the first sDIO that it 

recognized. Identify the sDIO with the OK LED flashing green and red. This is the 
recognized sDIO. Type N to select another sDIO for systems with multiple sDIOs 
or type Y to configure the recognized sDIO at the following prompt. 

 

Then, press ENTER to continue.
