4-2 Addressing I/O and Controller Memory
The figure below shows the relationship between an I/O terminal and its
location in controller memory.
I/O Addressing as It Relates to an I/O Terminal
Now that you are familiar with how controller memory is segmented to
address a specific I/O terminal, the next section explains available addressing
modes. These modes let you define the relationship between an I/O chassis
slot and an I/O group (16 input bits and 16 output bits).
