Setting Highest I/O Base Number — TI535 Models
The base assembly holding the PLC also holds the local I/O. The local I/O
consists of the first two logical bases, numbered 0 and 1. A logical base is defined
as a group of eight I/O slots. As many as fourteen additional logical bases,
numbered from 2 to 15, may be connected to the system as distributed I/O.
Switches 5–8 on DIP 1 are used to select the highest-numbered logical base in
the system. For example, if your system consists of 5 logical bases numbered 0
through 5, then the dipswitches should be set for 5.
Switches 5–8 reduce I/O update time by preventing the PLC from attempting to
communicate with distributed bases that are not present or which you may
have shut down. Although it increases scan time, you can set the switches for 15
if you prefer, regardless of the actual number of logical bases that are connected.
You may connect Series 500 bases to your system. Number the Series 500 logical
bases just as you would Series 505 bases; however, the total number of logical
bases cannot exceed 16.
