After selecting all of the components for your AIS system, it is then necessary 
to 
configure the system and assign input/output numbers for each of  the modules you 
have chosen. 
First of all each of the modules in your system must be allocated 
to 
an 
110 
slot on 
either the  CPU  or  extension  base unit.  So  write  in the  model  numbers of  the 
modules you have selected against the slot number where you want to locate them 
on the  base units selected. A  good  idea when doing this is to  keep all the  input 
modules,  output  modules and  special function  modules together  in groups,  this 
makes 
it 
much easier when it comes 
to 
programming and installation later on. 
When you have allocated an 
I10 
slot 
for each of the modules, it is then necessary 
to 
assign numbers 
to 
all of the inputs and  outputs in your system. The  numbers 
range from 
0 
to FF, and are counted in hexadecimal i.e. 
0, 
1, 
2,  3, 4, 
5, 
6, 
7, 
8, 
9, 
A, 
B, 
C, 
D, 
E, 
F with the starting point for counting the module in slot 
0 
of the CPU 
base unit. From the module in slot 
0 
the numbers follow on consecutively through 
all the modules on the CPU base unit and then on to the modules in the extension 
base unit, if one is used. Please note when  assigning the 
I10 
numbers that single 
I/O 
slot special function modules occupy 32  points, two 
110 
slot special function 
modules occupy 
48 
points, and spare or vacant 
110 
slots 
occupy 16 points.
