Before adding I/O devices

Have a copy of each device’s communication protocol and IP address. You will need to enter this information when you add the devices.

NOTE: You can use IPv6 IP addresses – including IPv6 shorthand – for TCP/IP level drivers.

For each cluster and the appropriate servers for this project (see the Plant SCADA help file for details)

For each cluster : 

1. From the I/O Device Manager, under System Devices, click Cluster Setup and then click Next.
2. At the Enter Instance Information screen, a cluster name displays. Click Next.

   If there are multiple clusters, the Select cluster screen displays

3. Choose the cluster you want to set up and then click Next.

   If there are multiple I/O servers, the Select I/O Servers screen displays.

4. Select an I/O Server. (Optional) If you are developing a redundant system:
1. Check Supports Redundancy and select the I/O servers to which you want to add the device.
5. Click Next.
6. At the Ready to perform action screen, click Next.
7. If you have more than one cluster to add, repeat steps 3 through 6 for each cluster.
8. When you are finished adding clusters and I/O servers, you return to the I/O Device Manager welcome screen.
