Allen-Bradley 1747-SN - Scanner I;O Image Concepts

1–7Overview
Publication 17476.6 - July 1996
The scanner’s I/O image consists of RIO logical racks and I/O
groups. A full RIO logical rack consists of eight input image and
eight output image words. (A word consists of 16 bits of data.) Each
word within an RIO logical rack is assigned an I/O group number
from 0 to 7.
You assign devices on the RIO link a portion of the scanner’s image.
Devices can occupy a quarter logical rack (2 input and output
words), half logical rack (4 I/O words), three quarter logical rack (6
I/O words), or full logical rack. You may configure devices to start
at any even I/O group number within an RIO logical rack. More
than one physical device’s (adapter) I/O information can reside in a
single logical rack. Also, by crossing logical rack boundaries a
device can consist of more than one logical rack.
Important: The illustration below shows only the input image
configuration of the scanner’s I/O image. The output
image configuration is the same.
