The OUT and IN blocks will be allocated in order of slave node addresses.
Each block is a maximum of 500 words.
Each address is allocated at least one byte (rightmost).
• More than one word is allocated for each slave with more than16 I/O
points (according to its node address).
• The rightmost byte of the word is allocated to each slave that has less
than 16 I/O points.
Using the Configurator When using the Configurator, each slave can be allocated four blocks: Output
(OUT) blocks 1 and 2 and input blocks 1 and 2. Each block is a maximum of
500 words.
Any order can be used for block allocations and for slave allocations within
