Trident Planning and Installation Guide
Note For distances greater than 200 meters (650 feet) or for applications
requiring isolation, fiber-optic transceivers are commercially available. For
compatible units and supported distances, contact your regional customer center.
I⁄O Bus Addressing
System components are uniquely identified to guarantee operational integrity
during installation and routine maintenance. Each I⁄O baseplate should have a
unique I⁄O bus address. Controllers shipped from the factory have a different
address for each baseplate (see figure below). If you add a baseplate to an existing
system, verify that the new baseplate has a unique address.
When configuring a module in a TriStation project, you should identify it
according to its baseplate address. Modules are logically added to match the
physical DIN rail and baseplate configuration using the Insert Module dialog box
in the TriStation Configuration Editor.
