Ifm efector AC1144 addressing/diagnostic handheld for AS-I Systems

Instructions to Address AS-I nodes and Force Outputs of AS-I Nodes* :

*(The AC1144 has many capabilities not listed below, see included Operating Instructions for more information.)

To ADDRESS AS-I nodes:

1.  To turn the AC1144 on, push the Read/On button

2.  AC1144 is now in “Address Mode” – ADDR

3.  Address is displayed on right side (example: 07)

4.  To change address, scroll up or down using + and – keys

5.  To assign the new address, push the Write/Set button. The address number is displayed on the right side

6.  To read the new address, push the Read/On button. The new address number is displayed on the right side

To FORCE OUTPUTS of AS-I nodes:

1.  Use a Micro DC Male to Female patch cable (ifm efector P/N: E70117 or other) and screw the male plug onto the main power/communication plug of the AS-I node.

2.  Plug the female end of the E70117 into the top port of the AC1144

3.  Turn AC1144 on, push the Read/On button

4.  Push the Mode button eight times until DATA is displayed in the upper middle of the screen

5.  Push the + button once, the right side of the display reads 01

6.  Push the WRITE/SET button to force the output

Example: To force the solenoid output of the AC2306 AS-I valve sensor. Repeat the above instructions.

Notes:

1.  Handheld device turns off after 1 minute of non-use

2.  Use the included AC power cable to recharge the AC1144

Using the AC1144 AS-I addressing tool

The addressing tool can be used to read the address of each node (0-31)
A new node comes from the factory with address 0.
An address 1-31 must be assigned for use in a program.
READING ADDRESS
Connect the AC1144 to the node using the appropriate connector.
Press MODE until ADDR is displayed in the upper left corner.
Press READ.
The address is displayed.
WRITING ADDRESS
Connect the AC1144 to the node using the appropriate connector.
Press MODE until ADDR is displayed in the upper left corner.
Press READ.
Press + or – until the desired address is found.
Press WRITE.
The new address is displayed.
On the small text on the bottom line, the old address is flashing and the new address is solid.
FORCING OUTPUTS WHILE CONNECTED TO A SINGLE NODE
Connect the AC1144 to the node using the appropriate connector.
Press READ.
Press MODE until the word DATA is displayed on the left.
Press + or – until the desired hexadecimal is displayed. ("0F" forces all outputs on)
Press WRITE to force the outputs.
FORCING OUTPUTS WHILE CONNECTED TO MULTIPLE NODES
Disconnect the AS-I master from the network.
Keep the AS-I power supply connected to the network.
Connect the AC1144 anywhere on the AS-i line using the appropriate connector.
Press READ.
All the connected node addresses will be displayed in small text on the bottom line.
The address that is active for reading and writing will be flashing.
Repeatedly press the READ until the desired address is flashing.
Press MODE until the word DATA is displayed on the left.
Press + or – until the desired hexadecimal is displayed. ("0F" forces all outputs on)
Press WRITE to force the outputs.
