Define one I/O device in a project

Use the I/O Device Manager Wizard to add one device at a time.

Throughout the I/O Device Manager , there are fields that will only accept a valid entry. They are marked with a red exclamation point (!). The exclamation point remains there until you enter a response that is of the correct length or includes only the acceptable characters. The asterisk disappears after you enter a valid response.

Opening the I/O Device Manager Wizard

To open the I/O Device Manager Wizard:

1. In Power Operation Studio: Click Projects > Home and verify that the project to which you want to add the devices is active.
2. Click Topology > I/O Devices > I/O Device Manager.

The I/O Device Manager displays.

3. Click Manage a Single Device.

The I/O Device Manager Wizard displays.

The steps to add a device vary by protocol. Click one of these links to display instructions to add each type of protocol:

• Adding a TCP device
• Adding a serial device
• Adding a DNP3 TCP device
• Adding an IEC 61850 device
• Adding and configuring SNMP devices

For each device added using the I/O Device Manager wizard, follow the same redundancy steps outlined in Add Redundant NetworkTagsDev and zOL Devices. Be sure to select a primary I/O Server and a standby I/O Server, each from a different Network Address.
