Some M Series devices have two connectors. You must select the range of
channels that corresponds to the connector cabled to the module. Channels 0–7
correspond to connector 0. Channels 16–23 correspond to connector 1.

If you remove a chassis from a daisy chain, reassign the index values for
modules in other chassis. Reassigning values maintains consistency and prevents
addressing removed chassis.
