7.8.4.2 Configuring a Scanner
After the Scanner appears in the device list, the following information can
be entered:
1. Enter a user-defined name for the Scanner.
2. Enter the IP Address of the Scanner.
3. Enter the Instance Numbers for the Input, Output and Configuration
sections.
– These are manufacturer-defined numbers that are paired between
the YRC Controller and the device.
4. Enter the size in bytes for the Input, Output and Configuration
sections.
– These sizes are defined and provided by the device manufacturer.
As the Input/Output sizes are entered, the Starting Group # will
automatically be filled in by finding the first Group # that can contain
that size of an allocation. After saving a new Scanner, the Starting
Group # can be entered manually here or the {Select Inputs} and
{Select Outputs} buttons can be used to visually choose the
allocation location (see chapter 7.8.5 “Modifying Allocations using
Input/Output Table”).
