network installation tool, install the module in the network and bind the
variables.
This step binds the individual variables from the network into the type slots defined
previously. When these variables are updated, the new values are passed into the proper PLC
register locations. When the PLC updates a register value , the new value is transferred to the
network.
Example: In the example illustrated in Figure Q-4, a change in the value of the input on Node 4
will cause its network variable to update on the network. This value is acquired in the LBIM and
forwarded to registers 6 and 7 in the PLC.
