After determining which category applies to your 1747-DCM application:
1. Find the column for the scanner used in your application.
2. Go down the column to the chassis address that you assigned to the 1747-DCM.
3. Use the switch settings in the right-most columns of the table that correspond to your chassis address
The starting I/O group number must be an even number from 0 to 6 (e.g. 0, 2, 4, or 6) and is dependent upon whether the 1747-DCM has been configured as a full, ¾, ½, or ¼ chassis. The first word transferred is always the status word for the 1747-DCM. The table below shows the switch settings for the starting I/O group numbers.
Direct Communication Module
Turn the switch to the OFF position if you want the 1747-DCM to clear and hold clear all data bits in its input image table in the event of an RIO communication failure or when the supervisory processor enters the Program/Test/Fault mode. Status bits will not be cleared. Turn the switch to the ON position if you want the 1747-DCM to hold all input data bits in their last state if an RIO communication failure occurs or when the supervisory processor enters the Program/Test/Fault mode.Before setting SW2-3 to ON, make sure that holding all 1747-DCM input bits in their last state, in the event of an RIO communication failure, does not create an unsafe condition in the distributed SLC processor.
Last Chassis (SW2-4)
Switch SW2-4 must be set to the OFF position if the 1747-DCM shares its logical chassis with at least one other adapter and has been assigned the highest I/O group number in that logical chassis.
The logical chassis size allocates image space in the scanner for each 1747-DCMs I/O data. The 1747-DCM allows ¼, ½, ¾, and full chassis addressing. SW2 switches 5 and 6 define the chassis size, as shown below.The 1747-DCM image cannot cross logical chassis boundaries. For example, configuring the module for ½ logical chassis with starting group 6 will cause a configuration error.Make sure you have set the DIP switches properly before installing the 1747-DCM. See Module Configuration on page 7.
