Manual I/O Allocation

1. To manually assign a tag to an I/O Module channel (or Point), first add the I/O Module to an appropriate Cabinet or Equipment Panel (refer to Adding I/O Modules).

   All I/O modules in Wiring Manager are based on user defined catalog definitions.

   Note: I/O Module creation and channel assignment can also be done automatically by Importing I/O Allocations from an Excel file. Refer to Import I/O Allocations from Excel for further information.

2. Once the I/O Module is positioned within the cabinet or panel, open the Terminations window and scroll to the specific I/O Module.

   The following example shows an I/O Module in the Terminations window:

   

3. To assign I/O to this module, right-click on any tag text box (the centre 'blank' text boxes above).

   This menu is then displayed:

   

4. Click Assign Tags to I/O.

   The Assign Tag to I/O Point window is then displayed:

   

The window lists all tags not assigned to I/O points on the module.

To assign a Tag to a specific I/O Point (Channel) click on the tag in the window and drag and drop onto the I/O Module channel in the Terminations window. Once dropped, the selected Tag Number will be displayed on the I/O Module. For example:

To assign more tags to I/O Points, drag and drop as required from the Assign Tag to I/O Point window.
