6: ALLOCATION NUMBERS
6-18 OPENNET CONTROLLER USER’S MANUAL
Digital I/O Module Operands
Input and output numbers are automatically allocated to each digital I/O module in the order of increasing distance from
the CPU module. A maximum of 7 digital I/O or functional modules can be mounted with one CPU module without using
an expansion power supply module, so that a maximum of 224 I/O points can be allocated in total. When using an expan-
sion power supply module, 15 modules can be mounted so that the I/O numbers can be expanded up to 480 points in total.
I/O Operand Numbers
Example:
The system setup shown above will have operand numbers allocated for each module as follows:
Input and output modules may be grouped together for easy identification of I/O numbers. The I/O numbers are allocated
automatically starting with I0 and Q0 at the module nearest to the CPU module. When the I/O modules are relocated, the
I/O numbers are renumbered automatically.
The location of functional modules does not affect the I/O operand numbers.
Functional Module Operands
Functional modules are analog input, analog output, DeviceNet slave, and LONWORKS interface modules. A maximum of
7 functional modules can be mounted with one CPU module in a system setup of 15 modules at the maximum.
Operand numbers are automatically allocated to each functional module in the order of increasing distance from the CPU
module, starting with L100, L200, L300 through L700. The location of digital I/O modules between CPU and functional
modules does not affect the operand numbers for the functional modules.
