To add a module to the project file:
1. From the
Module pull-down menu, select New.
The New Module dialog box appears.
2. In this dialog box, enter the following for the module.
In this field: Select on enter:
Name: A short descriptive name to help you identify the module.
PLC Node: The node number on the DH+ link of the PLC processor for
the module. If you are using a DF1 link to the PLC
processor, this value is ignored.
Port: The INTERCHANGE port the software should use to
communicate to the PLC processor. These ports are
defined when you run the INTERCHANGE configuration
utility. Most users configure only one port, and it will
appear by default. If you have more than one port
configured, click on the arrow to display the list.
DT Address: The starting address of the contiguous data table area for
interfacing with the module. (See chapter 1 on details of
how this interface area must be arranged.)
Rack No.: The I/O rack number for the module location address.
Group No.: The I/O group number within the I/O rack for the module
location address.
Slot No.: 0 Ċ (The I/O module slot number within the I/O group.)
The rack, group, and slot numbers are for screen display
reference only. It is up to your ladder logic to provide
block-transfer to and from the correct location address for the
module.
