12.2 Allocating External I/O Signal
 Allocation of the external I/O signal
The DX200 exchanges I/O data with the I/O interface by using external I/O 
signal area (#2xxxxm #3xxxx). The allocation of the external-I/O signal 
area and I/O interface used to be unchangeable since they have been 
allocated to the signals from lower to higher numbers in bytes (8 points 
unit) by system software.
With the function of allocating the external-I/O signal, the change is 
possible and a user can specify the signals in byte (8 points unit) to 
allocate.
