Consider the simple system featuring Remote I/O shown below. The DL250–1 or DL260’s
built-in Remote I/O channel connects to one slave base, which we will assign a station
address=1. The baud rates on the master and slave will be 38.4KB.
We can map the remote I/O points as any type of I/O point, simply by choosing the
appropriate range of V-memory. Since we have plenty of standard I/O addresses available (X
and Y), we will have the remote I/O points start at the next X and Y addresses after the main
base points (X60 and Y40, respectively).
Remote I/O Setup Program
Using the Remote Slave Worksheet shown above can
help organize our system data in preparation for writing
our ladder program (a blank full-page copy of this
worksheet is in the Remote I/O Manual). The four key
parameters we need to place in our Remote I/O
configuration table are in the lower right corner of the
worksheet. You can determine the address values by
using the memory map given at the end of Chapter 3,
CPU Specifications and Operation.
The program segment required to transfer our worksheet
results to the Remote I/O configuration table is shown
to the right. Remember to use the LDA or LD
instructions appropriately.
The next page covers the remainder of the required
program to get this remote I/O link up and running.
