power input terminals is outside this range, the module may not work properly.
1. Turn the modules power off. This prevents the module from being powered up before the proper voltage is verified.
2. Make sure the 24VAC power source is off.
3. Connect the power wires to the module’s power terminals labeled Ground and 24VAC (see Figure 1 on page 2 for location).
4. Apply power to the transformer.
5. Make sure that 24VAC is present at the modulespowerinputterminals.
Use a dedicated 22AWG to 18AWG twisted pair wire for legacy CMnet (EIA-485) wiring. For more information about CMnet wiring, refer to the Technical Handbook or to ARC156 CMnet Wiring Technical Instructions.
1. Be sure the modules power is off before wiring it to the CMnet.
2. Check the network communication wiring for shorts and grounds.
3. Connect the CMnet wires to the module’s screw terminals as shown in Figure 3. Be sure to follow the same polarity as the rest
of the CMnet.
6. Set the modules address. Refer to Addressingon page 3 for details about setting the address.
7. Turn the modules power switch on.
When the module turns on, the Run and Power LEDs turn on. The Run LED begins blinking and the Error LED turns off. See Table 7 on page 10 to troubleshoot the LEDs. If the module does not respond, call Technical Support at (770) 429-3002.

CMnet Communications

The M4106nx module can connect to the CMnet at 9600 bps, 38.4 kbps, or 156 kbps. When communicating at 156 kbps, the CMnet uses a unique implementation of the industry standard ARCNET protocol called ARC156. For a summary of the differences between ARCNET and ARC156, please refer to ARC156 CMnet Wiring Technical Instructions.

To verify each outputs operation, lock the output to a known condition using the Function Blocks Parameter page, then make sure the equipment actually operates as specified.
Each digital output can be placed in Manual or Auto mode by setting the HOA switches (see Figure 1 on page 2 for the switches location). Table 3 shows the status of the digital output based on the output’s configuration and the HOA switch position.
You can monitor the status of the HOA switches through SuperVision by assigning each switch a digital input in the FB using channel numbers 81 through 84. Channel 81 corresponds to HOA switch number one;

channel 82 corresponds to HOA switch two, and so on.
An off status on these channels means the HOAswitchisinAutomode.Anonstatus means the HOA switch is in Manual mode.

Analog Outputs

The M4106nx module has six analog outputs that support voltage devices in the 0-10VDC range. The device that is being controlled must have a minimum of 500 Ohms resistance measured from its input to ground and must share the same ground as the module.
Although the M4106nx’sAnalogOutputs were not designed to output current, it is possible to use these outputs for current mode devices. To drive a 20mA device from the module’s analog output, the total resistance of the load must be 500 Ohms. If necessary, wire a 1/2 watt resistor in series with the 20mA device as shown in Figure 10 on page 8.
For example, to drive a 20mA device that has 250 Ohms of resistance, wire a 250 Ohm resistor in series with the 20mA device (250 Ohms + 250 Ohms = 500 Ohms total resistance).

4. When the memory transfer is finished, check the module status report again. Make sure the FB List shows all the FBs you intended to transfer.

Troubleshooting

Formatting the Module

When you are unable to communicate with a module, you can, as a last resort, manually format the module to try to restore communication. Formatting the module erases all memory, so you need to transfer memory back to the module once it is formatted.
The M4106nx module can store up to 59 Function Blocks (FBs) and the MNM module driver. If you have any problems transferring memory to the module, contact Technical Support at (770) 429-3002.
1. Log in to SuperVision on a workstation connected to the CMnet. You can also connect directly to the module using the Access Port; see Communicating with the Workstationon page 5.
2. Navigate to the module driver and look at the module status page in SuperVision to make sure the module type and number agree with the module.
To view the module status report in SuperVision v3.0, click Tools ­Troubleshooting - Module Status.
To view the module status report in SuperVision v2.6b, press the Esc key, type MO ,,module address,15 and press Enter.
1. Turn the modules power off. Make sure the modulesaddressswitchesarenotset to 00’.
2. Press and hold the Format button (see Figure 1 on page 2 for location).
3. While continuing to hold the Format button, turn the modules power on.
4. Continue to hold the button until the Error LED flashes three times in sync with the Run LED.
5. Release the Format button.
6. Transfer memory to the module. Refer to Transferring Memory”.

LEDs

The M4106nx module has several LED indicators to show the status of certain functions. Table 7 on page 10 explains the Run and Error LED signals in detail to assist troubleshooting.
