Define an I/O Status File

The I/O status file stores data for the controller’s I/O rack configuration tables. The I/O status from each remote I/O rack requires two words. These two words store the reset, present, inhibit, and fault bits for each rack.

To define an I/O status file, enter an unused integer file number (9-255) in the I/O status file field (S:16) of the controller configuration screen. If you do not want to use I/O rack configuration tables, enter 0. However, if you want to use the autoconfiguration option to create your scan list, you must define an I/O status file. Use the controller configuration screen in your programming software:

Specify Channel Configuration Information
