Rubix iO: Point Import List

Rubix iO: Point Import List

The attached excel spreadsheet can be imported to a configured Modbus Device.  It will have all physical IO points and their configuration points.

The below tables is an optional method to adding the Universal Input (UI), Digital Input (DI), Universal Output (UO) Value Registers into the Rubix Platform.
For UIs and UOs, each point must be first configure the right type of register prior to reading / writing values.  Note that the Onboard Select Switches must also be set correctly in order to read properly (as per the 'Hardware Configuration' section above).

Universal Output Modbus configuration 

These Modbus Configuration Points are used to configure the types of each Universal Output (UO).  
The following tables detail the Universal Output Type Configuration Registers and the valid config setting values.
