Allocations to Slave Units Section 5-2
• Repeater Unit node addresses
The same address cannot be used twice for the same address type.
Example: IN1 cannot be used twice at the same time.
Example: A Contact I/O Unit uses both an IN and an OUT address.
Therefore IN/OUT1, cannot be used at the same time as OUT1 or IN1.
The same address can be used with different address types.
Example: IN1, OUT1, BIT IN1, and BIT OUT1 can be used at the same time.
Note The following table lists the destination addresses for sending messages to
Slave Units.
