5I/O addressing
To assign input and output in the program you will need to go in schematic and look up for the
desired tag.
If you look in the schematic and you want to look to this input:
The IO Board # is 0and input # is 10. Input number in the program
will be 10.
The IO Board # is 1and input # is 01. Input number in the
program will be 101.
If you look in the schematic and you want to look to this output:
The IO Board # is 0and output # is 13. Output number in the
program will be 13.
The IO Board # is 1and output # is 00. Output number in the
program will be 100.
In the corner of the IO tag, you will see the Card Pin Number. The Card Pin Number will help you
find the cable you need in the card.
If there is a change of output address, make sure that the new equipment address is not used in
another equipment. Otherwise, the output may react strangely (Flash, remains OFF, etc.).
You need to refer to the electrical schematic to know the address of the equipment:
