How Do I Address the cFP-DIO-550 using the FieldPoint Driver Object in Lookout?Primary Software: LookoutPrimary Software Version: 6.0.2 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software: N/A
Problem: I am trying to use my cFP-DIO-550 with Lookout and I'm having problems using the digital outputs. How do I address a specific digital output or digital input on this module in Lookout? Solution: The addressing is fairly simple when using the digital inputs. DI001.03 refers to the cFP-DIO-550 in slot 1 of your FieldPoint backplane reading input on channel 3. The digital output on the cFP-DIO-550 is addressed somewhat differently. Since the digital output channels effectively sit on top of the digital input channels using the FieldPoint driver, we must add address the digital outputs differently. This means that even though the channels are referred to as channels 0 through 7 in the manual, they are addressed as channel 8 through 15 in the FieldPoint driver object in Lookout. DO001.13 refers to the cFP-DIO-550 in slot 1 of your FieldPoint backplane outputting on channel 5 (not channel 13). A good way to remember this is that for digital output channels, simply add 8 to the desired channel to get its address.Related Links: Lookout Developers Manual Attachments:
