9.4.1. Setting PLC I/O Mode in EasyRoll

Individual modules must be placed into PLC I/O Mode from the EasyRoll software tool. This is done by invoking the Advanced Dialog and using the Connections tab

From the main screen, first enter the correct Subnet into the “Network IP” boxes and the correct Node you want to connect. Invoke the ConveyLinx Advanced Dialog and select the Connections tab. Note that the Node is being viewed is in the center and it is greyed out. Select the “PLC I/O Controlled” checkbox. With this checked the “Clear Connections” checkbox becomes enabled. Check or Uncheck the “Clear Connections” checkbox depending upon your application. Click “Apply” to initiate the change. The module will restart and this may take several seconds to complete

!IMPORTANT NOTE: Once a given module has been placed in PLC I/O mode, the ONLY way to return it to ZPA mode is to perform an Auto-Configuration procedure or Restore from a backup file with EasyRoll. There is no “undo” or “reset” function for this action
