nrio-NrioDeviceManager

Use the Nrio Device Manager to add, edit, and access NrioModules that represent physical I/O on a remote controller, and/or external I/O modules connected to a specific RS-485 port of the controller. The Nrio Device Manager is a view on the M2mIoNetwork or NrioNetwork. To view, right-click the network and select Views > Nrio Device Manager, or simply double-click the network.

Columns in the Discovered and Database panes of this view are summarized below.

Discovered

The Discovered pane of this view has the following available columns:

  • Address

    Reflects unique module address (1-16) under this Nrio network, automatically assigned during an online Discover. For the Nrio34Module in Niagara 4.3 and later, this is the address for the primary controller in the module.

     
    NOTE: An M2mIoNetwork supports only a single Nrio16Module—it always has 1 for Address.
     

  • SecAddr

    In Niagara 4.3 and later, reflects unique module address for the secondary controller in a Nrio34Module.

  • DeviceType

    Type of I/O represented by the discovered IO device (currently there is only Io16)

  • Uid

    Globally Unique ID, as 6-byte hexadecimal number, for the associated I/O hardware represented by this NrioModule. It is automatically acquired during an online Discover.

  • Versions

    Indicates the IO firmware revision currently installed in this IO hardware.

  • Used By

    Has a value only if the IO device is already represented in the station’s database, which is the name of the associated NrioModule.

Database

The Database pane of this view has the following available columns:

  • Description

    Text descriptor for this module of I/O.

  • Name

    Component name of the NrioModule.

  • DeviceType

    Type of I/O represented by the NrioModule (currently there is only Io16)

  • Exts

    Shortcut to the device extensions (only one extension, for Nrio proxy points).

  • Status

    Current status for the NrioModule.

  • Health

    Current health and last Ok (or Fail) timestamp for the NrioModule.

  • Enabled

    Whether the NrioModule is enabled (true) or not (false).

  • Address

    Reflects unique module address (1-16) under this Nrio network, automatically assigned during an online Discover. A “0” value means the NrioModule was added using Add Offline Hardware feature, or else copied from nrio palette. For the Nrio34Module in Niagara 4.3 and later, this is the address for the primary controller in the module.

  • SecAddr

    In Niagara 4.3 and later, reflects unique module address (1-16) for the secondary controller in an Nrio34Module under this Nrio network, automatically assigned during an online Discover. A “0” value means the NrioModule was added using Add Offline Hardware feature, or else copied from nrio palette.

  • Uid

    Globally Unique ID, as 6-byte hexadecimal number, for the associated I/O hardware represented by this NrioModule. It is automatically acquired during an online Discover. Will be all zeros (0) if the NrioModule was added using Add Offline Hardware feature, or else copied from nrio palette.

  • Installed Versions

    Indicates the IO firmware revision currently installed in this IO hardware.

  • Available Version

    Indicates the IO firmware revision in the JACE’s nrio module, available for download to one or more selected NrioModules.
