Addresses Within an Expansion Module
Each expansion module occupies 256 bytes (100H) within the CPU/FM address
area. The division of the 256 addresses within an expansion module can be seen
from Table 12-2.

Address Function/Slot Remarks
00H to 3FHReserved In this address area, the automation computer’s
BIOS makes basic settings in the expansion
module such as assignment of interrupts, etc.

Base Addresses of the Interface Submodules
Special characteristics of the interface submodules such as the location of the
AT-compatible I/O addresses (IF 962-COM, IF 962-LPT, ...) are set via the base
addresses, or the interface submodules are accessed exclusively via these base
addresses (IF 961-DIO, IF 961-AIO,...).
The base address for an interface submodule is obtained from the sum of the
slot-dependent address of the expansion module and the interface submodule
address within the expansion module. You can find the resulting base addresses in
Tables 12-3 and 12-4:
