6. Integrate with I/O modules
In this example, we use TPD-280 to control an I-7066, the 7-channel photo-
MOS relay output module of ICP DAS. First, put I-7066 in the same RS-485
network of TPD-280 and configure I-7066 with DCON Utility.
Step 1. Configure I-7066 Using DCON Utility
Download DCON Utility and its user manual on
ftp://ftp.icpdas.com/pub/cd/8000cd/napdos/driver/dcon_utility/ Then
configure I-7066 with DCON Utility. Mainly, Address(Net ID), Baudrate,
Databit, Parity, Stopbit should be set.
Step 2. Create a New Project
Go to the menu: File New…, and here we choose programming type
as [2] Ladder Program.
Step 3. Register Device
Create a new connection first in the Workspace. And then press F3 key to
evoke the “Devices” window to register I-7066.
