starting from slot IO0. The on-board I/Os of the PLC processor card are assigned

The direct access to the IO elements of each IO plug-in module takes place
in the program through its media code and address number, separated by a space.
For example, “I 5” or “O 32”. In which case “I” and “O” are the media code and the
number of the absolute address.
Further details about the programming can be found, among other places, in the
auxiliary system of the Saia PG5
®
programming tool or in the corresponding manu-
als.
