establishes the necessary assignments between user program and
process connection. The module address is the sum of the decimal
significances of the switch rockers in the On setting (• • ).
One data word = two data bytes is required to process an input or an
output. A module with 16 inputs therefore reserves 32 byte addresses,
and a module with 8 inputs or outputs reserves 16 byte addresses.
You can affix the adhesive label with the desired module address on a
free labelling field under the addressing switch.
The switch rockers to be set for the module address specified as a
decimal number (address bit ADB) are marked by dots on the label.
Press the individual rockers of the addressing switch downwards with
a ballpoint pen or similar object, but not a pencil.

The address under which the module is referenced by the STEP 5
program is independent of the slot.
For analog input and analog output modules (4 inputs) only the lowest
address (start address) is set. Other addresses (subaddresses) are
decoded on the module.
Note
The start address of the analog module must be a multiple of the
double channel number.
