You can select single-ended or differential inputs using the designated bit
in the configuration file. Inputs to a particular module must be all
single-ended or all differential. Set BTW word 3, bit 08 (bit 10 octal) as
shown in Table 4.C.

You must also indicate what format will be used to read data from your
module. Typically, you select BCD with PLC-2 processors, and 2’s
complement binary with PLC-3 and PLC-5 processors. See Appendix C
for details on data format. You use BTW word 3 bits 09-10 (11-12 octal) to
set the data format (Table 4.D).
