Analog Modules
You can plug analog modules only into slots 0 through 7. Transfer of 65,536 different items of
information is possible per channel from or to an analog module. The memory requirement is
16 bits=2 bytes=1 word. The modules are addressed byte-by-byte or word-by-word with load or
transfer operations.
The programmable controller takes this increased memory requirement into account when an analog
module is plugged in.
•
Eight bytes (=four words) are reserved per slot.
•
Two bytes (=1 word) are reserved per channel.
•
The slot addressing area is changed.
•
The permissible address space extends from byte 64 (slot 0, channel 0) to byte 127 (slot 7,
channel 3).

Figure 6-6. Address Assignment for Analog Modules
Examples: 1)
Bytes 88+89=analog module in slot 3, channel number 0
2)
Channel 1 address of an analog module in slot 5?
Solution:
Note
Any combination of analog and digital modules is possible in slots 0 through 7.
