•
remote expansion chassis
•
starting logical group number selection
•
inserting and removing I/O modules under power
•
DIP switch locations
•
I/O module keying
•
physical slot numbering
•
status indication
•
throughput performance
•
inhibit functionality
Page and chapter references are provided within each heading so you
can quickly review the information specific to Catalog Number
1747-ASB.
The 1771-ASB image size is automatically selected based on the
chassis size and addressing mode. The automatic assignment is
possible because the number of 1771 chassis physical slots are
provided in 2-group multiples. Therefore, there are no unused
physical I/O slots or scanner image that is not utilized.
Image Size Selection
(page 4-10) The 1747-ASB image size must be selected with DIP switches
(SW2-5,6,7,8). The selection is necessary because the 1746 chassis are
not provided in 2-group multiples. In some cases, you must make a
choice between not using a slot or not using scanner image. For more
information on odd size chassis and image conditions, refer to page
4-13.
