Configure a Conventional Analog Output Module
After you “accept” a module into the slot, a screen like this appears:

S:1 AQ:04

tgl entr

Number of
references for
this module type
Assign I/O References for the Module
Specify the I/O references to be used by the module. For most applications, you can simply have
the Bus Interface Unit assign the next available references in that memory type. Alternately, you
can enter specific refer ences for the module.
A. To assign the next available references, just press F4 (entr).
B. If you want to change to another type of I/O table, press F3 (toggle).
C. If you want to assi gn s p eci fic references, enter th e starting address. Press F 4 ( entr ).
For most applications, all module references should fall within the network map
configured for the Bus In t erface Unit. For local contr ol, a module can be
configured outside the BIU network map.
In addition, each data type (I, Q, AI, AQ) has a total of 256 bytes allocated within
the BIU. So for each data type, all references must be located within a 256-byte
range. For example, if th e starting address for anal og out put data configured for th e
Bus Interface Unit was AQ0101, all analog outputs would need to be located
between AQ0101 and AQ0357.
Module references ar e au t omatically assigned by the Bu s In terface Unit based on its con fi g ured
data addresses and the number of points appropriate for the module type.
To edit the module's configuration, press F4 (zoom).
