How to
Printing a Wiring List for the I/O Bus
You print an I/O wiring list for the I/O bus that describes which I/O points are associated with each I/O module. You use the printed copy of this list to help wire the I/O bus network.
If a Module ID is Null, you cannot print the wiring list. If a channel is Null, the I/O point labels do not display in the wiring list.
The I/O bus consists of the following parts:
Power bus
Address bus
Communication bus
I/O bus parts
The power bus distributes 24 VDC power from the power supply to the AS-P server and the Central IO modules.
Use the power budget to calculate the maximum number of devices that the power supply can supply. If more devices are used, additional power supplies must be added to the I/O bus.
For more information, see Power Budget .
The address bus is used to pass the address from the terminal base backplane to the electronics module that is installed on the terminal base to the next terminal base on the I/O bus. Typically, the physical position (address) of the devices on the I/O bus should match the module IDs in the EcoStruxure Building Operation software. For more information, see Device Addressing .

The communication bus enables serial (RS-485) communication between the AS-P server and the Central IO modules. The AS-P server controls and supervises the communication on the communication bus. The Central IO modules also monitor their communication status. When a new Central IO module is configured and connected to the I/O bus, the automation server automatically detects the new Central IO module.
All the buses use a common ground, which is connected to the signal return paths with terminals called “RET”. The signal return path is also called signal ground.
In WorkStation, in the System Tree pane, click the IO Bus on an automation server.
On the Actions menu, click Print IO wiring list .
In the Print IO Wiring List dialog box, click the Printer icon
