Control of the
Special I/O Link
The Special I/O link is a DDCS-protocol fibre optic ring that can contain
up to eight I/O devices. The sequence of the devices determines the
node numbers as shown below.

The terminal values of the I/O devices are accessed by the application
program through PC and DB elements. Also note that the system
software package of the AC 80 includes type circuits for handling
Special I/O devices. For detailed information, refer to the
