Avatar I/O Port Assignments

Application and certain load avatars introduce process variable (PV) inputs and PV switches.

PV inputs are connected to Analog I/O modules (AIOM) that are included as part of the application avatar . Each AIOM module allows up to two PV inputs. A maximum of five PV inputs, requiring up to three AIOM modules, can be selected for the avatar .

PV switches are connected to Digital I/O modules (DIOM) that are included as part of the application avatar . Each DIOM module allows up to four PV switches or control mode digital inputs. A maximum of five PV switches and three control modes, requiring up to two DIOM modules, can be selected for the avatar .

The PV input and PV switch port assignments on the DIOM and AIOM modules are made during the initial configuration of the TeSys island settings using the TeSys island DTM.

The I/O port assignments can be found in the DTM once the avatars on the TeSys island have been selected and the number of PV Inputs and PV Switches have been assigned. The I/O port assignments can be found in the Settings section for the System avatar . The inputs for the avatars are assigned to specific I/O devices and then mapped to ports on that I/O device.
