Configure Slot 4
The fifth module (slot 4) in the example is a 1794-IE8 analog input
module. This module has the following selections:
3. Select the voltage/current for each analog
output using the list box for selection of
each output.
Changing the number of input (read) words
generates the amount of input and status area
mapped into adapter memory. Changing the
amount of output (write words) causes the adapter
to expect more or less output/configuration words
from the process.
1. To specify the number of input and output words,
place the cursor in the box and backspace to delete.
Enter the desired selection.
6. If you change the settings, when all selections are
complete, click on the OK button.

the Save to Flex I/O" button. Or you can wait until
you have configured all slots and apply the
configuration using the Save to Flex I/O" button on
the 1794ADN configuration screen.
When you are on line, I/O data size comes up in a default
mode.The default sizes are optimal settings. If you do a
load from file," the sizes are the stored sizes previously
sent to file. If you do a "load from device," the sizes are
the current sizes stored in the adapter.

real time settings for this type of module. These
settings are optimal, and not necessarily the
