6.6 Defining Channel blocks
Overview
Each Series 8 I/O channel (IOC) block represents a single I/O point within an I/O module
(which can be either input or output). There are certain attributes and parameters that are
common to all I/O channel blocks. The Series 8 IOC block has a point execution state.
This allows for easy reconfiguration of a single channel without disrupting the operation
of the entire IOM.
Each IOC block must have an "assignment" block and "containment" block in order for it
to be loadable. The following table describes these blocks.
