6-3-2 Allocating Input and Output Areas to the Master
The DeviceNet Interface Unit’s input and output areas are allocated to the Unit
as a DeviceNet Slave in the Master’s I/O memory.
With fixed allocation, words in the CPU Unit are allocated in the order of node
numbers starting from node 00. The words are divided into an output area and
an input area. The specific words that are allocated depend on the model of PC
that is being used.

The DeviceNet Interface Unit will occupy the number of words (number of node
numbers) set for the input and output areas in the DeviceNet memory switch
screen. For example, when the Unit’s input area size has been set to 16 words,
the output area size has been set to 10 words, and the node number is set to 5,
the input area will occupy the words for nodes 5 through 20 and the output area
will occupy the words for nodes 5 through 14.
Note With the CS1 Series, the DeviceNet Output Area (CIO 0050 to CIO 0099) is con-
tained inside the I/O Area (CIO 0000 to CIO 0319). For this reason, in systems
with a large number of I/O points, edit the I/O table with the CX-programmer so
that there is no overlap of area allocation.
Each node address is allocated one input and one output word. If a Slave re-
quires more than one input or one output word, then it is assigned more than one
node address. If a Slave requires less than one word, it simply uses the right-
most bits in the word allocated to it.
