Siemens S5-100U - Slot Numbering

S5-100U Addressing
6 Addressing
The inputs and the outputs have different assigned addresses so that you can access them
specifically. The I/O addresses are the same as the module slot addresses.
When you mount a module in a slot on a bus unit, the module is assigned a slot number and
consequently a fixed byte address in one or both process image I/O tables.
Connect the sensors and actuators to the terminal block. The terminal selected determines the
channel number.

6.1 Slot Numbering
The programmable controller can have a maximum of four tiers. You can use up to 16 bus units
(32 slots). The slots are numbered consecutively. Numbering begins with “0” at the slot beside
the CPU. Whether a module is plugged in or not has no effect on the numbering.
