Publication 1746Ć6.8 - April 1997
Converting from 1746ĆNI4 to
1746ĆNI8
This information is provided for those who are replacing two
1746-NI4 modules with one 1746-NI8 module.
The module identification code is a unique number encoded for each
1746 I/O module. The code defines for the processor the type of I/O
or specialty module residing in a specific slot in the 1746 chassis.
Using your programming device, configure the slot with the
appropriate ID code. In this example, the 1746-NI8 is in slot 3.
