Slot Configuration
Each slave device can have multiple slots that can be configured. A slot can be a
place holder for a process variable or a placeholder for a specific piece of hardware.
In the example below the PROFIBUS slave device added is an IO adapter which can
have multiple additional IO modules which will be represented as additional slots.
