Allocations to Slave Units Section 5-2
• Sixteen-point Output Slave Unit + Sixteen-point Expansion Input Unit
Two node address areas are allocated: Node address m in the OUT area
and node address m in the IN area.
• Sixteen-point Output Slave Unit + Eight-point Expansion Input Unit
Two node address areas are allocated: Node address m in the OUT area
and node address m in the IN area.
• I/O Example for Word Slave Units
The number of I/O points for Word Slave Units in a CompoNet Network
can be increased by using Expansion Units. The following table shows the
Slave Unit and Expansion Unit models that can be used.
• I/O Allocation when Expansion Units Are Used
Memory is allocated to a Basic Unit with an Expansion Unit in the same
way as it would be allocated to a Slave Unit of the same size as the com-
bination of the sizes of the Basic Unit and Expansion Unit.
The following examples show the allocations when an Expansion Unit is
connected to a Basic Unit at node address m (m = 0, 1, 2,…).
Note (1) For Slave Units with both inputs and outputs (see note (2)), the Input Area
node address is used as the Slave Unit node address. Therefore, the Par-
ticipation Flag and Communications Error Flag correspond to node ad-
dress bits for the Input Area.
(2) A Basic Unit and Expansion Unit combined to provide both inputs and
outputs, or a CRT1B-MD Bit Slave, which provides both inputs and out-
puts.
