The addressing of inputs and outputs for AS-i bus devices connected to the Fipio network depends on:
-
The type of object (%I or %Q),
-
The number of the AS-i bus,
-
The AS-i slave number, from 1 to 31,
-
The rack number, always 0,
-
The module number, always 0,
-
The number of the input or output channel.
NOTE: The number of the AS-i bus is calculated automatically by Control Expert. This value cannot be modified.
%I\7.21\0.0.1 indicates: input 1 from the AS-i slave 21 button box of a TBX SAP 10 module at address 7 on the Fipio bus.
%Q\7.16\0.0.2 indicates: output 2 from the AS-i slave 16 illuminated column of a TBX SAP 10 module at address 7 on the Fipio bus.
Illustration:
NOTE: Certain slaves have input or output channels numbered from 1 to 4, while the numbering of the channels in the PLC is still from 0 to 3.
Example of correspondence: %I\..\..0 channel 0 of the slave corresponds to I-1, and %Q\..\..3 channel 3 of the slave corresponds to Q-4.
