93Chapter 6 Remote Drop Configuration with a Hand–held Monitor
Select the Remote Drop ID
The same configuration screen is used to assign a Remote Drop ID. A Remote Drop ID
is a number between 16 and 254 that allows the Remote I/O Scanner to communicate
with serial Logicmaster 90–70 for multidrop programming. The ID distinguishes one
remote drop from another. A valid entry must be made on this screen even if the host
type is not a Series 90–70 PLC.
When configured from a Hand–held Monitor, the Remote Drop ID is used as part of
the “folder” name, so a configuration stored in the Scanner can later be uploaded to
Logicmaster 90–70. The folder name will be DROPxxx, with xxx the Remote Drop ID
(016 – 254).

2. After entering all the beginning addresses and lengths and a Remote Drop ID,
press F3 (send) to transmit this portion of the configuration to the Remote I/O
Scanner. When you press F3 (send), the Hand–held Monitor adds up the data
lengths to be sure they do not total more than 128 bytes of inputs and 128 bytes of
outputs. It also checks for the presence of a Remote Drop ID between 16 and 254.

Otherwise, an error message appears. After pressing the Clear key, the
configuration must be changed to correct the error.
