Overview of the 1734 POINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Chapter 1
For example, if your system consists of one adapter and four I/O modules, set the
chassis size to 5.
The adapter stores this chassis size setting in non-volatile memory.
Each time the adapter is powered up, the adapter compares the number of I/O
modules present on its backplane to the chassis size value from non-volatile
memory. The adapter does not allow any I/O connection until the number of
I/O modules present equals the chassis size value minus one for the adapter itself.
You can set the chassis size by using the following:
Set the Chassis Size by Using the Thumbwheels
For firmware revision 5.015 or later, you can set the chassis size without a
computer by using the thumbwheels on the adapter.
1. Make sure that the adapter is not powered.
2. Set the thumbwheels to 8xx where xx is the chassis size value from 01...64.
