About Configuring I/O Modules
I/O modules are configured by selecting an I/O bus in the Equipment tree view and
then assigning a module to an empty I/O slot. You can configure single modules or
two/three modules to form a redundant group to match the arrangement of your
hardware.
If you choose to insert one module it will be allocated to the slot you have selected. If
you choose to insert more than one module, they will automatically be allocated to
adjacent slots. To change the configuration you can clear a slot or move a module to
another slot.
Use this process to configure I/O modules:
1) Assign I/O modules to the IO Bus 1 or IO Bus 2 slots.
2) Set the process safety time for the I/O modules.
3) Configure the I/O module status variables.
4) Configure the I/O module channel variables.
Note: The procedures assume that you have already set up all the variables in the
Dictionary. If you create a new variable during this process , you will be prompted to
store it in the Dictionary.
