You might use a worksheet like the one shown below to record the I/O references and Reference

Parameters configured for the Bus Interface Unit and for the modules in the I/O Station.

Slot 0 is the location of the BIU. The references you enter for the BIU are the ones that will be

communicated on the Genius bus.

Slots 1 through 8 (maximum) contain conventional I/O modules or intelligent modules. You will

find another worksheet later in this chapter where you can record I/O assignments made for Group

Data moves for intelligent modules such as the Micro Field Processor.

Conventional discrete and analog I/O modules use just one type of data. However, “intelligent” I/O

modules can use multiple data types.
