HOW TO Configure the TWP & TWA Panels

For TWP and TWA pcb descriptions, options and how to configure the expander address, see PSCockpit Quick Guide V.5 – TWP PCB page and TWA PCB page. You can access the Quick Guide from Help/Quick Guide menu in the PSCockpit software.

The configuring process for the TWA is exactly the same and the IOLayout page should be like this:

Be aware that once the configuration is saved, whenever you enter the IOLayout Page you won’t see “TWA” label on the expander anymore but the “16 I/O” label.
