Settings for Each Resource

Ch 2: System Environment Setting

Settings for Each Resource

Referring to the manual of the extended board, either choose or enter the appropriate values. If some value overlaps with the value of an existing extended board, an error message is displayed. After changing the settings for the existing extended boards, make settings for each resource.

Reserving I/O Port Addresses

This utility automatically reserves higher 6-bit addresses by reserving lower 10-bit I/O address area. Although some manuals related to the communication board (PC-CH2100) explain that four 16-bit addresses should be reserved, you can load the configuration file recorded within the utility and then specify the lower 10 bits according to the procedure.
