nrio-NrioDeviceManager

Use the Nrio Device Manager to add, edit, and access NrioModules that represent physical I/O on the host JACE controller, and/or external I/O modules connected to a specific RS-485 port of the JACE. 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. For more details, see Nrio Device Manager.

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