1. Go to the LM90–70 Programmer Setup Menu:
2. In the Setup Menu, choose F3 ..... Select SNP/Parallel Connections
The following screen appears:
This screen lists the available devices in the network. Each PLC or remote drop on
the network should be included here once its SNP ID has been configured.
3. If the remote drop will be part of a multidrop network, enter its SNP ID.
4. Check the current Port Connection method. It should be:
A. Parallel: if you want to physically connect a programmer using parallel
Logicmaster 90–70 to a Remote I/O Scanner. A Bus Transmitter Module must
be installed in the remote drop to permit connection of the programmer with
the parallel version of Logicmaster 90–70.
B. Direct: if you want to physically connect a programmer using serial
Logicmaster 90–70 to a Remote I/O Scanner.
