Summary of Changes
The information below summarizes the changes made to this manual
since the last release.
Updated Information
Updates and Additions
This manual incorporates the information found in the following two
manuals:
•Bulletin 1203 Remote I/O Communication Module Getting Started Manual, Publication 1203-5.1.
The information below summarizes the changes to this manual since
its last release:
PageDescription
2-5Important statement added:
Injury or equipment damage can result from loss of PLC or Controller Logic
Commands (Stop, Start, etc.) when all these conditions are true:
- module firmware 3.04 or lower.
- 230.4k baud rate.
- block transfer is enabled (DIP switch SW3-1 is ON).
- block transfers to the module are used (in the ladder program or by DriveTools/
DriveTools32 using a Remote I/O pass thru connection).
Do not use the 230.4k baud rate if you are using a module with 3.04 or earlier
firmware and your program uses block transfers. Use the 57.6k or 115.2k baud
rate instead.
2-6Attention statement added:
Due to an anomaly in firmware release 4.01, Remote I/O modules that are used
only for block transfer messages require the following configuration: switches for
block transfer and reference/feedback should both be enabled (SW 3.1 and SW
3.3 are ON. SW 3.2 and SW 3.4 through 3.8 are OFF).
This configuration prevents a fault on power up. It does not affect rack I/O
allocation or the ladder logic program because it still fits within 1/4 rack I/O space.
The drive will, however, generate a serial fault if the communications module is
disconnected or loses power.

Safety Precautions and
Important Information
Chapter 2 provides instructions and information for configuring the
Remote I/O communications module (1203-GD1, 1203-GK1, or
1336-GM1). In this chapter, you will read about the following:
•Factory-default settings.
•Recording the I/O image table.
•Configuring the module.
Important:
Please observe the following safety precautions:
!
!
The communications module is not compatible with
complementary I/O configurations because it uses both
output and input image words for proper product control.
ATTENTION: Hazard of equipment damage exists. When
you make changes to the switch settings, use a blunt, pointed
instrument. Do not use a pencil or pen.
ATTENTION: Hazard of injury or equipment damage
exists. Failure to check connections and switch settings for
compatibility with your application could result in
unintended or undesirable operation. Verify the
configuration is correct for your application.
!
Important:
ATTENTION: Hazard of injury or equipment damage
exists. Unintended or incorrect machine motion can result
from the initial configuration. When a system is configured
for the first time, the motor must be disconnected from the
machine or process during initial system testing.
Due to an anomaly in firmware release 4.01, Remote I/O
modules that are used only for block transfer messages
require the following configuration: switches for block
transfer and reference/feedback should both be enabled
(SW 3.1 and SW 3.3 are ON. SW 3.2 and SW 3.4 through
3.8 are OFF).
This configuration prevents a fault on power up. It does not
affect rack I/O allocation or the ladder logic program
because it still fits within 1/4 rack I/O space. The drive will,
however, generate a serial fault if the communications
module is disconnected or loses power.

Setting Block Transfer
Configuring the Module2–5
SW 3.1 enables or disables block transfer. Enable block transfer if
you are using messages (refer to Chapter 5) in your ladder logic
program or if you are using DriveTools32 software.
Important:
You cannot use both messages and DriveTools32 software
at the same time.
Block transfer uses the first module group (word) in the rack and

Settings take effect when a module or board first receives power.
When you change a setting, you must remove and then reapply power
for the new setting to take effect.
2–6Configuring the Module
Important:
Due to an anomaly in firmware release 4.01, Remote I/O
modules that are used only for block transfer messages
require the following configuration: switches for block
transfer and reference/feedback should both be enabled
(SW 3.1 and SW 3.3 are ON. SW 3.2 and SW 3.4 through
3.8 are OFF).
This configuration prevents a fault on power up. It does
not affect rack I/O allocation or the ladder logic program
because it still fits within 1/4 rack I/O space. The drive will,
however, generate a serial fault if the communications
module is disconnected or loses power.
Setting Logic Command and Status
SW 3.2 enables or disables the word used for logic command and
status (e.g., start, stop, direction). Logic command/status uses one
word in the rack and group.
Figure 2.4Logic Command/Status Switches
Off = 0
On = 1
Use SW 3.2 for setting logic/
status word.
To edit the command/status setting, you need to:
1. Refer to the following table to determine the setting for SW 3.2:
Command I/OSW 3.2
Disabled0
Enabled1
2. Slide the switch to its appropriate position.
3. If Logic Command/Status is enabled, record “Logic Cmd” in the
first available module group (word) of the output column and
“Logic Sts” in the first available module group (word) of the
input column of your I/O image table on page 2–4.
Settings take effect when a module or board first receives power.
When you change a setting, you must remove and then reapply power
for the new setting to take effect.
Setting the Reference and Feedback
SW 3.3 enables or disables the word used for reference and feedback
(e.g., speed reference, torque reference). Reference/feedback uses one
word in the rack and group.

2–8Configuring the Module
Setting Datalinks
SW 3.7 through SW 3.4 enable or disable datalinks. A datalink is a
type of pointer used by some SCANport products to transfer data to
and from a controller. You can use datalinks to change or monitor the
value of parameters without using block transfer messages. Each
datalink consists of two 16-bit words of input and two 16-bit words of
output. You can enable up to four datalinks (eight words in and out).
Refer to Chapter 4 for detailed datalink information and examples.
Figure 2.6Datalink Switches
Off = 0
On = 1
Use SW 3.7 through SW 3.4 for
setting the datalinks.
Important:
Ensure that datalinks are supported and enabled in the
SCANport product before you enable them in the Remote
I/O module. You do not have to use datalinks. If you do
use them, remember that a datalink in a drive can be used
by only one communications module. Datalinks do not
write to the EEPROM.
To edit the datalinks, you need to:
1. Refer to the following table to determine the settings for SW 3.7
through SW 3.4:
Datalink D

Disable0000
Enable1111
SW 3.7
Datalink C

2. Slide the switches to their appropriate positions.
3. For each enabled datalink, record “Datalink [A, B, C, or D]” in
the first two available module groups (words) of the output and
input columns of your I/O image table on page 2–4.
Settings take effect when a module or board first receives power.
When you change a setting, you must remove and then reapply power
for the new setting to take effect.
Setting the Truncate Last Datalink Feature
SW 3.8 enables or disables the truncate last datalink feature. All
datalinks are two words. If this feature is enabled, the second word of
the last datalink is deleted. For example, if datalinks A and B are
enabled and this feature is enabled, Data In B2 and Data Out B2 are
truncated. This feature can save rack space by maintaining an even
number of words in your rack.
Important:
This feature is available only on modules with firmware
1.02 or later.

Setting Switches on SW2
Setting the Starting Group
SW 2.2 and SW 2.1 set the starting group. A starting group is the
word in a rack at which the group starts. The starting group depends
on the rack size. To determine the starting group, you must set the
switches on SW3 and calculate the rack size. A full rack is 8 words.
For example, if we enabled the switches for Logic Command/Status,
Reference/Feedback, and datalink A, we use 4 words in the rack, so
we need a 1/2 rack. Using the table below as a guide, we could set the
starting group for word 0, 2, or 4 for our example.

Setting the Last Rack Switch
SW 2.3 lets you notify a controller that the connected product is the
last device with this rack address. You must set this switch if a
product is the last device with this rack address and you are using a
PLC-2 controller. It is recommended that you set this switch when
you are using other controllers.

Configuring the Module2–11
Setting the Fault Action
SW 2.6 through SW 2.4 let you configure how a Remote I/O module
and connected product act when Remote I/O communications fail
(e.g., disconnected cable) or the controller is switched to program or
test mode. You can use fault, hold last state, or zero data. If you select
hold last state, a product continues in its present state after a
communications disruption. If you select zero data, the data output to
the product is zeroed. Zero data does not command a stop.
ATTENTION: Risk of bodily injury or equipment damage
!

exists. These switches allow the user to change the default
configuration that would fault the drive if communication
is lost. Precautions should be taken to ensure that settings
for these switches do not create a hazard of bodily injury or
equipment damage.
ATTENTION: Hazard of equipment damage exits.
Firmware version 3.04 has the following anomaly: If DIP
Switch 2.5 is OFF (No Fault), the product remains in its last
state after a communications loss occurs no matter how DIP
Switch 2.4 is set. If you must use zero data, contact
Rockwell Automation Technical Support.

Setting the Remote I/O Baud Rate
SW 2.8 and SW 2.7 set the baud rate at which the Remote I/O module
communicates.
ATTENTION: Injury or equipment damage can result

from loss of PLC or Controller Logic Commands (Stop,
Start, etc.) when all these conditions are true:
•module firmware 3.04 or lower.
•230.4k baud rate.
•block transfer is enabled (DIP switch SW3.1 ON).
•block transfers to the module are used (in the ladder
program or by DriveTools/DriveTools32 using a
Remote I/O pass thru connection).
Do not use the 230.4k baud rate if your module firmware
is 3.04 or earlier and if your program uses block transfers.
Use the 57.6k or 115.2k baud rate instead.

Setting the Rack Address
DIP switches 8 through 3 on SW 1 set the rack address for the
Remote I/O module. Each Remote I/O device must have a rack
address that the controller can recognize. Each rack contains 8 words.
Important:
When using a PLC-2 family processor, add 1 to the rack
number set on the Remote I/O module DIP switches to
your PLC code. The PLC-2 cannot have a Remote I/O rack
numbered zero, so add a value of one to the rack number
value when writing your PLC code.

Use DIP switches 8 through 3 on SW1
for setting the module address.
To edit the rack address, you need to:
1. Refer to the following table to determine the settings for SW1.8
Not all controllers support all of these node addresses.
Refer to the documentation for your controller. The
maximum number of devices on a Remote I/O link is 32.
2. Slide the switches to their appropriate positions.
