3-16 Addressing
When discrete mode is selected, specialty I/O modules are discretely
mapped or block transfer mapped, depending on:
•
the specialty I/O module's image size
•
the addressing mode selected (2-slot, 1-slot, or 1/2-slot)
When discrete mode is selected, a specialty I/O module is discretely
mapped if its image fits into the image space assigned to its slot pair.
For example, if the specialty I/O module such as the 1746-NIO4I and
-NIO4V requires two words of input and output image, and the
1747-ASB module is configured for 1-slot addressing, the specialty I/O
module is discretely mapped . However, if four words of input or
output image are required, the specialty I/O module such as the
1746-NI4, -NO4V, -NO4I, and -HS, are block transfer mapped.
Due to the module's image size, some specialty I/O modules are
always block transfer mapped.
Two words required
by specialty I/O module.
Two words provided by
1747-ASB module.
Two words of input and output image
are required by the specialty I/O
module. The 1747-ASB module is
configured for 1-slot addressing, which
provides two words of input and output
image per slot pair. Because the
specialty I/O module’s image can be
mapped into the provided image, the
specialty I/O module is discretely
mapped. The other slot of the pair is
empty since all of the input and output
image is used.

Four words of input and output image
are required by the specialty I/O module.
The 1747-ASB module is configured for
1-slot addressing, which provides two
words of input and output image per slot
pair. Because the specialty I/O module’s
image cannot be mapped into the
provided image, the specialty I/O module
is block transfer mapped.
