ControlNet Communications Module
Step 9. Enter the input and output size for the node on the
network. The number of words selected depends on the
I/O to be communicated with the node. In this example,
the Node 2 SP600 is set for all I/O enabled which equates
to 10 words of I/O (table 5.1).
Important:
The size of the Reference (Ref/Fdbk Size (7)) and
Datalinks (Datalink Size (8)) will affect the size you
configure for the network I/O. For example, 32-bit
Datalinks requires twice as many words as 16-bit
Datalinks. Depending on your application, the
configured I/O size may vary.
