ord Allocation
Each
slot of the Backplane is assigned a hardware
word number
. This word is
accessible for I/O use only in the given slot. However, standard I/O Units are
available
in 5-, 8-, 12-, and 16-point models. If an I/O Unit other than a 16-point
model
is mounted, the unused points of that word are accessible only as “work
bits”
(refer to the C200H Operation Manual). The number of I/O bits available for
the
entire system, therefore, varies according to the model of I/O Units used, as
well
as the model of Backplanes used. The figure below shows the relationship
between the model of I/O Unit
and
work bits. The shaded bits can only be used
as work bits.
