Assigning Addressing Modes,
Racks, and Groups
This chapter conveys basic hardware addressing concepts and gives you
guidelines with which to choose the addressing modes (including
complementary I/O), racks, and groups to use in your system.

Addressing complementary I/O 412
Place I/O modules in a chassis depending on the electrical characteristics
of the modules. The placement is made left to right, with the left-most
position being closest in the chassis to the PLC-5 processor or the I/O
adapter module. The placement order is as follows:
1. block-transfer modules (all types)
2. dc input modules, placed left to right from lowest to highest voltages
3. dc output modules, placed left to right from lowest to highest voltages
4. ac input modules, placed left to right from lowest to highest voltages
5. ac output modules, placed left to right from lowest to highest voltages
