Getting Started
This is a brief document designed to quickly get you started setting up your valve manifold with an integrated
Numatics’ G2-2 series ControlNet communication node.
1) Initial Unpacking and Inspection
1) Examine exterior of package for signs of damage. Report any damage to shipping carrier.
2) Remove wrapped manifold assembly from box.
a) Remove manifold assembly from anti-static packaging
b) Retain documentation for installation and configuration
3) Examine manifold assembly for any shipping damage such as:
a) Bent pins or connectors
b) Report any damage to shipping carrier immediately
4) Examine manifold assembly for proper ordered configuration. (Valves, I/O, Protocol, etc.)
2) G2-2 Introduction
Below is an example of a 2012 series valve manifold. This fieldbus manifold series is capable of addressing a
total of 224 I/O. The manifold can be viewed as having two sections to it, the

supports a maximum of 32 solenoid coils and the
maximum of 6 modules totaling 192 Outputs, 96 Inputs, or various combinations. The communication
module has two BNC communication connectors. The power module has a 4-pin power connector. Pin-outs
for these, along with I/O connectors, are labeled on the side of the respective modules.

The MCM is the module that allows the user to manually test the Numatics manifold using Self-Test mode.
The MCM consists of two DIP switch sets (SW1 and SW2) and two rotary switches (SW3 and SW4).

4) Self-Test Mode
An internal diagnostic tool can also be enabled using the optional MCM module. This tool allows the user to
confirm that all of the Inputs and Outputs on the manifold are fully functional without needing a network
connection or controller. There are two test modes that the user can choose using SW2-8. The “Output” test
mode tests all the outputs by sequentially turning them ON one at a time. The “Input/Output” test mode
tests the inputs by causing all of the outputs to toggle between even and odd values when any input is made.
To use the Self-Test Mode, the user must first set some initial conditions using the MCM module. Follow
these steps to obtain the needed initial condition settings. Remember to remove power from the manifold
before making changes to the MCM when setting these initial conditions.
1) Disconnect power and air from the manifold!
2) Record current MCM settings.
3) Set the rotary switches to 99 (SW3 and SW4).
4) Make sure that SW1-5, SW2-1, and SW2-7 are in the “ON” position.
5) Select the desired test mode with SW2-8 (see table below)

SW2-8
6) Make sure that all of the other switches are in the “OFF” position.
The initial conditions are now set. To enable the Self-Test Mode, apply power to the manifold and make the
following changes within 5 to 10 seconds:
Self-Test Mode is terminated by removing power to the unit. Remember to return the MCM settings to their
original settings to return the communication node to normal operation.

input is made. When an input is made, the outputs will toggle to
the even outputs.
Description
Air should be disconnected to the manifold when attempting to run the
Self-Test Mode to prevent unwanted motion.
Communication lines should be disconnected before attempting to run the
Self-Test Mode.
