Scanning Inputs and Outputs in the I/O Station

The NIU performs a regular I/O scan of all inputs and outputs.

During each I/O scan, the NIU reads inputs from all discrete and analog input
modules and places the data into its I and AI memories.

The NIU also sends outputs from its Q and AQ memories to all discrete and analog
output modules.

Data Handling for Modules with More than One Data Type

Some modules have multiple types of I/O data. The NIU reads all input data from
these modules and sends all their output data during every I/O scan.
