Understanding the I/O Image
The terms input and output are defined from the scanner’s point
of view. Therefore, Output I/O is data that is output from the
scanner and consumed by the Profibus module. Input I/O is status
data that is produced by the module and consumed as input by
the scanner. The I/O image table will vary based on the:
Configuration of the Mode Jumper (J2) on the module and MDI
I/O Cfg (parameter 11). The image table always uses consecutive
words starting at word 0.
Figure 8.6 illustrates the Multi-Drive I/O image with 16-bit words.
