CAUTION
When assigning addresses, keep the following in
mind.
(1) When setting the PMC area, note the following:
The R address or E address can be set.
For a multi-path PMC, enter an PMC address
as follows:
<Path number>:<PMC address>
For R0500 for the second PMC path, for
example, enter "2:R500". When only a PMC
address (R500) is entered, it is assumed to be
the PMC address for the first path (1:R0500).
If the ":" key is not provided, the "/" or "EOB"
key can be used instead.
(2) The DI data area, DO data area, diagnostic data
area, and operation mode display area cannot
overlap each other.
(3) The area assignment area and the area used by
the ladder program cannot overlap each other.
NOTE
1 The number of slots that can be set by this master
function is 128 in all of slave devices. For example,
a maximum of 32 slave devices consisting of four
modules can be connected.
However, even for a slave device consisting of
multiple modules, assignment for each slot is not
required. Assignment for each slot is required only
when a PMC address is assigned for each module
DI/DO.
Even for a slave device consisting of multiple
modules, when DI/DO is treated as a totality, set a
slave device consisting of a module (set NSL to 1).
2 When settings are made as described in "SETTING
BY USING A PERSONAL COMPUTER" in
SUPPLEMENT, NSL (number of slots) must also be
set.
Slot
When an I/O device consisting of multiple I/O modules is used as a
slave station, a location in which an I/O module is placed is called a
slot.
