Output Data File
For each module, slot x, words 0 and 1 in the output data file contain the control 
program’s directed state of the digital output points.
Configuration File
The read/writable configuration data file allows the setup of the hold last state 
and user-defined safe-state conditions.
Manipulate these bits with programming software, such as RSLogix 500, 
RSLogix 5000, or RSNetWorx for DeviceNet, during initial configuration of the 
system. In that case, graphical screens are provided via the programmer to 
simplify configuration. However, some systems, like the 1769-ADN DeviceNet 
adapter, also allow the bits to be altered as part of the control program using 
communication rungs. In that case, it is necessary to understand the bit 
arrangement.
The output module’s input data file reflects the output data echo of the 
module, not necessarily the electrical state of the output terminals. It 
does not reflect shorted or open outputs.
It is important to use this input word if the controller adapter supports 
the Program mode or Fault mode function, and if it is configured to use 
them.
