Input Data File
For each module, slot x, input words 0 through 7 contain module status
information including channel status and configuration status. During module
configuration, the module enters a special mode called Command Mode. During
Command Mode, configuration data is written to the module using the output data
file and Command Mode response data is returned to words 0 through 2 in the
input data file. After the Command Mode process completes, the module returns
to normal run mode. The table below shows the layout for each word during both
modes of operation.

Configuration Data File
The configuration data file is not used. Instead the output data file is used to
configure the module and control output channels 0 through 7.
Output Data File
This section describes how the input and output files are used together to configure
the module. The module enters a special mode called Command Mode when the
PLC transitions from Program mode to Run mode. After the module enters
Command Mode, the output file is used to send commands to the module and the
module responds via the input data file. The table below shows the layout for each
word during both modes of operation.
