Hi All,
I am looking at a future project that includes a PLC5 with some digital I/O.
Its been a long time since I have worked on the PLC5 platform and I am re-familiarising myself with the addressing modes.
Happy in general with the various combinations, but one arrangement that I cant get my head around is when using a 32-point digital Input or Output card in 1-slot addressing mode.
So a group is one Input and one Output word.
Lets say I want to locate a 32-point Input card in physical slot 0.
In one slot mode, as I see it, I only have one Input word (16-bits) available.
So how can I use a 32-point card?
I see how things works in 1/2 slot mode as the two groups in the one physical slot provide two input words (32 bit), but cannot see how this is achieved in one slot mode.
Any help would be much appreciated.
