Select the Other module from the list. This action opens the following dialog box.

Enter the module I/O card ID number as 12835, and then click OK. Double-click
the mouse on the module just added to the rack. Fill in the dialog box as shown
below:

Click OK to apply these settings to the module. Then, close the I/O Configuration
dialog box.

The next step in the module's setup is to define the user defined data areas to
hold the configuration, status and port transmit and receive data. In the example
ladder logic, N10 contains the configuration data, N11 contains the status data,
N12 contains the port 1 data and N13 contains the port 2 data.

At this point, take the time to fill in the configuration values in the GSC
configuration data table. Refer to the Module Data section of this document for
information on configuring the module.

The last step in the module setup is to add the ladder logic. If the example ladder
logic is used, adjust the ladder to fit the application. When the ladder example is
not used, copy the example ladder logic to your application and alter as
necessary.
