Using 1/2Slot Addressing
When you select 1/2-slot addressing, the processor addresses one-half of
an I/O module slot as one I/O group. Each physical slot in the chassis
corresponds to two input and two output image-table words. The type
(unidirectional or bidirectional) and density of the module that you install
determines the number of bits that are used in each word.

I/O Chassis with 1/2Slot Addressing
You can mix 8-, 16- and 32-pt I/O modules
in any order in the I/O chassis because 32
input bits and 32 output bits are available in
the image table for each I/O slot. When you
use 8- and 16-pt I/O modules with 1/2-slot
addressing, however, you use fewer total I/O
bits in our image table.
