Using 2-Slot Addressing

Definition: The processor addresses two I/O module slots as one I/O
group.

Concept: Each physical 2-slot I/O group is represented by a word in
the input image table and a word in the output image table. Each
input terminal corresponds to a bit in the input image table word and
each output terminal corresponds to a bit in the output image table
word.

The maximum number of bits available for one 2-slot I/O group is
32: 16 bits in the input image table and 16 bits in the output image
table. The type of module you install (either 8 or 16-point I/O)
determines the number of bits in the words that are used.

You select 2-slot addressing by setting switches 5 and 6 of the I/O
chassis backplane switch assembly to the OFF position as shown in
Chapter 2.

I/O Module Combinations

The combination of I/O modules you can use depends on the
addressing method and I/O chassis you select.

NO TAG lists acceptable I/O module combinations with 2-slot
addressing.
