2. Inputs:
The address assignment of the inputs does
not depend on the outputs.
2.1 Address assignment of the input modules:
•
Addresses should be assigned in
ascending order without gaps.
•
Counting should begin on
the node from right to left.
•
Counting on the individual
module is from top to bottom.
•
4-input modules occupy 4 addresses.
•
8-input modules occupy 8 addresses.
2.2 Status bits
The addressing of the status bits depends on
the output fittings and on the configuration.
When the operating voltage is switched on, the
valve terminal automatically recognises all avai-
lable pneumatic modules (type 03: max. 13
modules; type 05: 4, 8 or 12 valve locations) and
digital input/output modules and assigns the
appropriate addresses. If a valve location rema-
ins unused (blanking plate) or if a digital
input/output is not connected, the appropriate
address is still assigned.
