Discrete I/O Assignments

9–19

Note that “

O

” and “

I

” indicate output and input from the PLC perspective.

The “rack address” is the one that you set in the

Remote I/O Configuration

panel, which you can access from

Environment

in the main menu bar (refer

to Chapter 10, Environment Menu Selections for details).

Note also that the composite addresses (as well as the parameters under the

Time

,

+/–

, and

Force

headings) are shaded, and thus you cannot alter them

in the

Remote I/O

panel.

The first 120 rows are all PLC outputs (CVIM2 inputs), while the remaining
128 rows are all PLC inputs (CVIM2 outputs). You can access all 248 rows
by picking the

button and entering a specific address in a keyboard, or

by picking the scroll bar, scroll bar arrows, or scroll bar slider at the right
side of the editor panel. In all cases, the proper selection of these composite
addresses is dependent upon knowledge of the PLC and how it is
programmed to interface to the CVIM2 through the remote I/O port.

For information about selecting input and output signals, refer to the Module
I/O Functions
section on page 9–4 of this manual. For details about remote
I/O communications, refer to the CVIM2 Communications Reference
Manual
