Slot Configuration - General
Each module added can consist of one or more Data Points. In the example below
the module has two Data Points, one Input and one Output.
The description of each is based on the module name (from GSD file) but can be
edited by the user. When using Logix this Description is used to create the member
of the device-specific UDTs and thus no illegal Logix characters are permitted. It is
also important that these descriptions are unique within a device.
Figure 3.84
– Slot descriptions
When adding a slot, the data format and size will default to that of the selected
module in the GSD file.
