I am in the process of setting up a GE processor system for the first time, utilizing a GE 90/30 processor with Versamax I/O on devicenet. One aspect I am currently grappling with is the configuration of 4 slots in 4 racks within the system. Each rack can accommodate 8 modules, resulting in a total of 128 bits of inputs and 128 bits of outputs. With the possibility of having 8 racks (1 main and 7 expansion), the total input and output bits can reach 1028. The system is designed to autoconfigure, but I am unsure about how it addresses the empty slots in each rack. In my current hardware configuration, the reference addresses are %I00265 and %Q00145, both with a length of 1040. For instance, my first input module ranges from %I00265 to %I00280 and my second input module ranges from %I00281 to %I00296. The question remains: what will be the initial input number used in the second rack?
When configuring your hardware profile in Proficity ME, it is important to consider the reference address and length of each I/O module. For example, a 16 input module placed in the first slot after the CPU will have a reference address of %I1 and a length of 16, occupying locations %I1 - %I16. Planning for future expansion, such as adding an 8 input card later, requires organizing memory accordingly. If a second 16 input card is placed in slot 3, its reference address would be %I25 with a length of 16, leaving %I17 - %I24 available for the future card. Keep in mind that the future addition should have a shorter length of 8 to accommodate the 8 input card. Proficity ME will guide you on the next available starting address as you install cards, allowing you to adjust reference addresses if needed. This approach ensures a well-organized and efficient configuration for your I/O modules.
Salut à tous les experts, Je suis en train de travailler sur un système automatisé RX3I de General Electric qui utilise des modules de communication connectés via un réseau RJ45 avec un module d’extension d’entrée-sortie d’émetteur ETM001F qui est lui-même connecté à un module récepteur erm002 non isolé. Malheureusement, les modules d’entrée-sortie analogiques ne fonctionnent plus en raison d'un défaut. Lorsque j’essaie d’identifier les problèmes à l'aide du logiciel proficy de GE, j’obtiens le code d’erreur 1 qui indique une configuration corrompue. J'aurais besoin d'aide pour configurer correctement les modules analogiques IC200ALG264. J'ai essayé de modifier les plages de courant de 0-200mA à 4-20mA, mais sans succès. S'il vous plaît, pouvez-vous m'aider à résoudre ce problème?
Greetings, experts! I am currently dealing with a General Electric RX3I PLC system that utilizes RJ45 networking to connect its communication modules. The system includes an ETM001F transmitter input/output extension module, which is linked to a non-isolated ERM002 receiver module. Unfortunately, I am experiencing issues with the analog I/O modules as they are no longer functioning correctly. When attempting to diagnose the problem using the Proficy Machine Edition software, I am receiving fault code 1, indicating a corrupted configuration. I need assistance in reconfiguring the IC200ALG264 analog modules, particularly in adjusting the current ranges from 0-200mA to 4-20mA. Any guidance on solving this configuration issue would be greatly appreciated.
It looks like your setup is quite complex, but a good rule of thumb to remember with GE systems when you utilize the autoconfigure feature is that it always starts the addressing at the first slot of the first rack after the CPU (which typically occupies Slot 0). Each slot that follows, populated or not, increments the starting address for the next rack. From your explanation, it appears that your first rack is ending at %I00296. Given that each rack can handle 128 I/O bits, the addressing for the first slot of the second rack should start at %I00297, regardless of any empty slots in the previous rack. As you increase the number of racks and slots, the address will increment accordingly, allowing you to manage I/O effectively across multiple racks. Remember, the GE system treats empty slots as if they are filled when it comes to addressing. All the best with your setup!
Hey, from my experience, the initial input number in the second rack would generally follow sequentially from the last input number in the first rack. And since your last input module ranges from %I00281 to %I00296, your first input module in the second rack would logically start from %I00297. Additionally, empty slots usually aren't assigned any addresses, so the next module would just pick up from where the last one left off. However, do check your system documentation, as some variances in setup could exist.

Answer: - In this setup, each rack can accommodate 8 modules, and there is a possibility of having 8 racks (1 main and 7 expansion), resulting in a total of 1028 input and output bits.
Answer: - The system is designed to autoconfigure, but it is essential to understand how it addresses empty slots in each rack to ensure proper functioning of the setup.
Answer: - In the described setup where the first input module ranges from %I00265 to %I00280, and the second input module ranges from %I00281 to %I00296, what would be the initial input number for the second rack to continue the addressing sequence effectively?
