hello everyone, i am trying to get a grasp on remote i/o and learn how addresses are assigned.
We have a weld cell with 3 nachi robots, 1 panelview 550, and 3 seperate racks of flex i/o modules all linked with blue hose and go back to a scanner card on the plc (5/03).
Due to bad parts getting out the door we have to add more sensors to make it pretty much idiot proof. Problem is i have used up all the spares left available to me.
In the section in question..
We have a osalotor turntable with 2 sides - a,b , on each side is a panel which houses a bank of flex i/o modules with their own power supply and linked by blue hose. 4 modules per side, 2 16pt input and 2 16pt output.- 8 total
Currently they are addressed side a - input module - I:1.20/0-15
input module - I:1.21/0-15
outp module - O:1.22/0-15
outp module - O:1.23/0-15
side b - input module - I:1.24/0-15
input module - I:1.25/0-15
outp module - O:1.26/0-15
outp module - O:1.27/0-15
I have purchased 2 terminal blocks and 2 8pt input modules that i need to add on, 1 on each side of the table.
side b i am guessing would just continue on with the pattern and be I:1.28/0-7 but if i add a module to side a what would happen?
would everything get bumped down.
is there someone out there that can give me some advise on the best way to go about this? the last thing i want to do is get into readdressing all those i/o. It is a huge program close to 9000 words of memory used in the plc.
thanks,
mark
