Unit Numbers and I/O Allocations Section 2-2
Note The unit numbers allocated automatically to the Slice I/O Units are unrelated
to the DeviceNet node address set with the rotary switches.
2-2-2 I/O Allocations in the Slice I/O Terminal’s Master Unit
The Slice I/O Terminal’s I/O data is allocated in the CPU Unit’s I/O memory
and transferred through the Communications Unit and the Unit (such as a
DeviceNet Unit) connected to the CPU Unit.
The Communications Unit’s Programming Device (such as a Configurator)
can be used to freely select the kind of data allocated. Refer to the Communi-
cations Unit’s operation manual for details.

I/O Units with bit allocation are allocated data
from the rightmost to leftmost bit, in 2-bit units.
I/O Units with word allocations are allocated
data from the lower to higher word address.
