3. The I/O Connection Editor

3.1. Using the I/O Connection Editor

The aim of the I/O connection operation is to establish a logical link
between the I/O variables of the application and the physical channels of
the boards existing on the target machine. To make this link the user has
to identify and setup all the boards of the target machine, and place I/O
variables on corresponding I/O channels.

The I/O connection window is shown in Figure 43 below: -

Figure 43 I/O Connection Window

In the window above, the column on the far left shows the connection table (rack) of the target
machine, with board slots. A slot may be free, or used by one I/O board or complex equipment. Each
slot is identified by an order number. The column on the right of the rack shows the boards allocated
to the rack. The area on the right of these boards (blank in the example above) shows the board's
parameters and the variables connected on the selected board. A board may have up to 128 I/O
channels.
