Communication Over the
I/O Backplane
One 1794-APBDPV1 PROFIBUS adapter can interface with up to eight
terminal base units with installed FLEX I/O modules, forming a FLEX I/O
system of up to eight slots. The adapter communicates to other network system
components over the PROFIBUS network. The adapter communicates with its
I/O modules over the backplane.
The I/O map for a module is divided into read words and write words. Read
words consist of input and status words, and write words consist of output and
configuration words. The number of read words or write words can be 0 or more.
The length of each I/O module’s read words and write words vary in size
depending on module complexity. Each I/O module will support at least 1 input
word or 1 output word. Status and configuration are optional, depending on
the module.
