3.3 CONFIGURING NETio OUTPUTS
for PROTOCOL CONTROL
In order for a protocol to set control outputs for either analog or discrete
outputs connected to NETio Modules, the
Source
variable for the partic-
ular output must be set to
Protocol
. To do this, Select the letter for the
“Source” variable (shown in
Figure 3-5
or
Figure 3-6
) to view the menu

3.4 MAPPING INPUTS TO OUTPUTS
FOR SIGNAL EXTENSION AND
REGENERATION
One of the primary uses of NETio is to regenerate Input signals con-
nected to NETio modules at one location as outputs from NETio mod-
ules at a
different
location. This is accomplished by mapping.
