3.1 Field bus I/O signals

Chapter 3 Signal allocation 

 

3.1   Field bus I/O signals 

The I/O signals of the field bus differ depending on whether PLC is enabled or disabled. In addition, the I/O 

points to which signals are assigned is determined based on the field bus channel number to be used. 

 
 

3.1.1   When software PLC is enabled 

When software PLC is enabled, signals are assigned to field bus relay inputs (X1000 ~ X3047) and outputs 

(Y1000 ~ Y3047).

Total: 2,048 pts 

 
 

3.1.2   When software PLC is disabled 

When software PLC is disabled, signals are assigned to the inputs (I161 ~ I2048) and outputs (O161 ~ 

O2048) of general-purpose I/O.
