TigerLily Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 I am beginning my first project with the newer NX platform and am a little confused by the description in the manual vs what is actually in the sysmac setup. The manual makes it sound like you can adjust the range settings for the card, but I don't see any where to do it in the setup. I also don't know what the Index and sub-index columns mean, so I am wondering if this is a back door to access the range settings?
IO_Rack Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 Generally, you choose your range by the card type (part number). The only one that will give you configurable options is the NX-HAD* cards. I'm not sure what the Index and Subindex values are. Possibly offsets for the Ethercat addresses? If you want to see what is available via programming, the best way is to create an offline project with these cards the view the I/O Map.
Crossbow Posted April 10, 2019 Report Posted April 10, 2019 When you are looking at the NX assembly in Studio, click on the card and there is a button on the right to edit the card's properties. That's where you make the changes.
