9) Writing Output Values to the AS-i Node
When hexadecimal values are used to operate corresponding I/O, the following reference chart can be used.
For example, an input of "E" (hex) would energize outputs 2, 3, and 4 simultaneously.
Below is a chart showing hexadecimal and binary write values and the corresponding outputs.
Hexadecimal
Value
0x0
0x1
0x2
0x3
0x4
0x5
0x6
0x7
0x8
0x9
0xA
0xB
0xC
0xD
0xE
0xF
Please note: There are four outputs per node address, thus if more that 4 coils (3 coils for Extended
Addressing units) are installed an additional As-i node will be put in the communication module.
10) Addressing AS-i Nodes
When commissioning an AS-i network all slave node device addresses must be set on the connected nodes.
This network address is stored in the non-volatile flash memory within the node. Setting the node address can
be achieved in the following ways:
1) Via the network connection using an AS-i master and the appropriate software that allows
"Change_Operating_Address" function. However, care should be taken that there are no duplicate
node addresses on the network, otherwise addressing cannot be achieved. We recommend that only
the node that is to be addressed be connected to the network to insure non duplicate addresses
address.
2) Via a handheld addressing tool commonly available from such manufactures as Siemens,
Pepperel+Fuchs, Effector, etc... . This is the most common way to address an AS-i node and is very
simple to accomplish. We recommend that only one node be addressed at a time. Exact procedures
vary from various handheld unit manufactures, but the concept is always the same. The handheld unit
is connected to the communication connector of the slave node and establishes communication to it
(Numatics' AS-i node are factory set to Address 30 or 31). The appropriate slave node is identified via
the display of the handheld unit and then pressing a specific combination of keys on the handheld tool
changes the address on that specific slave node.
