Expansion Peripheral

Configuring Remote RMX-3200 to Manage an Expansion
Peripheral
An expansion peripheral is managed by Remote RMX-3200 when it is:
Configured through the Remote RMX-3200
Connected to the Remote RMX-3200
Capable of operating as an extension of the Remote RMX-3200’s discrete I/O
subsystem.
Management of a peripheral by Remote RMX-3200 requires peripheral type and
peripheral name configuration.
To configure Remote RMX-3200 to manage an expansion peripheral:
1. Configure description
Unit manages DEP-362A4C for peripheral unit 2:
config peripheral 2 description Unit manages DEP-362A4C
Note: The peripheral type is inferred from the peripheral name prefix (for
example,
DEP = discrete-expansion). If desired, you can explicitly
configure the peripheral type with command
config peripheral type.
2. Configure Remote RMX-3200 peripheral unit 2 to manage peripheral device DEP-
362A4C:
config peripheral 2 manage DEP-362A4C
Notes: Configuring the peripheral name associated with a unit number causes
Remote RMX-3200 to attempt active management of the specified
device. If the device has been discovered, Remote RMX-3200 connects
to it and starts managing it immediately. If the device has not been
discovered, Remote RMX-3200 begins actively managing it as soon as it
is discovered.
All peripherals have a hard-coded, unique name. This unique name is
printed on a label affixed to the expansion module.
In this scenario, you will:
Configure a discrete peripheral unit
Configure a description for the discrete peripheral unit
Configure Remote RMX-3200 to manage the peripheral device.
