Use the power budget to calculate the maximum number of devices that the power supply can supply. If more devices are used, additional power supplies must be added to the I/O bus.
The EcoStruxure Building Operation software supports the major communication protocols in building automation and security management.
You print an I/O wiring list for the I/O bus that describes which I/O points are associated with each I/O module. You use the printed copy of this list to help wire the I/O bus network.
You print labels to identify I/O channels on the placard of an I/O module much the same way you label circuits on an electrical panel. You accept the default names for the I/O point labels or customize the I/O point names for your own application.
You perform the following steps to power up a device.
The wiring recommendations provide guidance regarding wiring of the I/O modules, SmartX servers, and MP Series controllers.
You can wire a terminal base prior to installing an electronics module.
The terminal bases are used for SmartX devices that are based on the patented two-piece design. The terminal base provides the I/O bus to the electronics module installed on the terminal base as well as to the SmartX device installed to the right (next terminal base in the chain).
The Status LED on the front of the SmartX devices changes color and flashes to indicate the status of the device.
The I/O bus is a common bus that delivers power, address information, and communication to all devices connected to the bus. The I/O bus is provided to the devices through the backplane in the terminal bases. The term I/O bus also denotes the chain of devices that are connected together.
