8.4 I/O Number assignment
A CPU of the MELSEC System Q automatically recognises the slots available in main and exten-
sion base units and assigns addresses to the inputs and outputs accordingly.
The assignment can also be done by the user. Thus slots can be left empty or addresses can be
reserved for future extensions.
The following figure shows examples for I/O assignment:
