Add an M2mIoNetwork (“M2M JACE”)

To add an M2mIoNetwork in the station

Use the following procedure to add an M2mIoNetwork under the station’s Drivers container.

  1. In Workbench, open the M2M JACE station.

  2. Expand the station’s Config space to see its Drivers folder, and double-click it for the Driver Manager view. If an M2mIoNetwork is already there, verify it is enabled (status “ok”), and go to Step 5.

  3. Open the nrio palette in your Workbench palette side bar (see “Using the palette side bar” in the User Guide for general details).

  4. From the nrio palette, drag (or copy and paste) an M2mIoNetwork into the station’s Drivers folder. In the popup Name dialog, you can rename the network—or, simply use the default name.

    An M2mIoNetwork named “M2mIoNetwork” (or whatever you named it), is under your Drivers folder. As copied from the palette, the M2mIoNetwork includes a child Nrio16Module named “LocalIo16”.

  5. Double-click the M2mIoNetwork to open its Nrio Device Manager view.

    If the station is running, within several seconds the previous copy triggers a discover, and the “LocalIo16” Nrio16Module dynamically acquires its address and UID. At this point, its status should be “ok”.

    If the “LocalIo16” Nrio16Module remains in fault, go to its property sheet and look at the Fault Cause property.

  6. When the are now ready to create Nrio proxy points. See Create Nrio proxy points.
