Terminal Strip - Remote I/O link, power and input/output connections are
made to the removable terminal strip for easy connection of wiring.
Switch Assembly - The modules contain two switch assemblies. Use these
assemblies to make the following settings:
I/O rack number
starting I/O group
communication rate
last I/O group
last state
transfer type
processor restart/lockout
Status Indicators - Indicators display the status of module power,
communication and fault. Use these indicators to help in troubleshooting.
