5-3 User-set Allocations
With a CJ-series DeviceNet Unit, you can allocate remote I/O communication slaves in any area of a
memory used for CJ-series Unit (CIO, WR, HR, DM, or EM) using one of the following methods:
• Setting through CX-Integrator
• Setting through the device variables for CJ-series Unit (Slave User-set Allocations Setup Table)
z User-set Allocations Methods
* You cannot use Holding Area H512 and its subsequent holding areas, or EM Area Bank D and its subsequent
banks.
Precautions for Correct UsePrecautions for Correct Use
Functions will vary as shown below depending on whether allocations are set through the device
variables for CJ-series Unit (Slave User Allocations Setup Table) or through the CX-Integrator.
You can only allocate two blocks (OUT 1 and IN 1) when settings are made with the device vari-
ables for CJ-series Unit, but there are three blocks (OUT 1 and IN 1/2) available with the CX-Inte-
grator.
You can allocate a maximum of three blocks at any location in I/O memory for the output (OUT) area
block 1, input (IN) area block 1, and input (IN) area block 2.
To access a slave allocated to the memory used for CJ-series Unit from the user program, user-
defined variables that specify the AT specification of the memory used for CJ-series Unit to which
the slave is allocated must be defined.
