(3) Precautions
(a) Type setting
The type set to the I/O assignment tab must be the same as that of the mounted module.
Setting a different type may cause incorrect operation.
For the intelligent function module, the I/O points must also be the same in addition to the I/O assignment
setting.
Tabl e4. 1
shows the operations when the mounted module type differs from the one in the I/O
assignment tab.
(b) I/O points of slots
The number of I/O points for each slot selected in the I/O assignment tab is set in priority to those of mounted
modules.
1) When the preset number of I/O points is less than those of mounted I/O modules
The available points for the mounted I/O module will be decreased.
For example,
when the number of I/O points is set to 16 points in the I/O assignment setting of PLC
parameter to the slot where a 32-point input module is mounted, the second half 16 points of the
32-point input module becomes unavailable.
2) When the preset number of I/O points exceeds those of mounted I/O modules
The exceeded number of points will not be used in I/O modules.
3) Last I/O number
Set the last I/O number within the I/O point range.
Failure to do so causes an error ("SP. UNIT LAY ERR."). ("***" is displayed as an I/O address on
the System monitor screen of GX Developer.)
