• power supply modules do not take up I/O image space if

placed in the higher numbered slots in the chassis. The adapter

will scan I/O space from the leftmost slot to the rightmost slot,

so any power supply modules or nondiscrete modules are used

most efficiently if placed in the right side of the chassis.

• ATTENTION: It is possible to have only 1/2 of a 32-point

I/O module function since you can configure the map table to

a single word (16-bits), when a 32-point module requires 2

words.
