7.2  Input and output set-up 

 
This chapter describes the initial set-up of the inputs and outputs. It is a very important part of 
the initial installation of the Sirius. Things like labeling and set-up of I/O units are part of the 
set-up procedure. So carefully read and maybe re read this section until you are fully aware of 
all its do’s and don’ts. 
 
To pull up the SETUP-menu you must choose the item ‘Input/output set-up’. This screen shows 
you on the left side the inputs and on the right side the outputs. 
With tabs you can select the requested input. Now you can see the interface type in the left 
upper corner, which is connected, to the input. You can also find out here on which of the 16 I/O
