Auto-Configuration
Introduction All Advantys STB I/O modules are shipped with a set of predefined parameters that
allow an island to be operational as soon as it is initialized. This ability of island
modules to operate with default parameters is known as auto-configuration. Once
an island bus has been installed, assembled, and successfully parameterized and
configured for your fieldbus network, you can begin using it as a node on that
network.
About Auto-
Configuration
Auto-configuration occurs when:
You power up an island for the first time.
You push the RST button (See The RST Button, p. 55).
As part of the auto-configuration process, the NIM checks each module and
confirms that it has been properly connected to the island bus. The NIM stores the
default operating parameters for each module in Flash memory.
Customizing a
Configuration
You can customize the operating parameters of the I/O modules, create reflex
actions, add preferred modules and/or CANopen standard devices to the island bus,
and customize other island capabilities.
Note: A valid island configuration does not require the intervention of the optional
Advantys configuration software.
