signed the next word(s) following the word(s) assigned to the previous Unit. If
there are any empty slots, no words will be assigned. Words are only as-
signed when a Unit is mounted; all empty slots are skipped. The number of
I/O words allocated to each type of Unit is shown below.

Once the word(s) assigned to a Unit has been determined, the use of individ-
ual bits in the word(s) is determined by the type of Unit. If the Unit is a Spe-
cial I/O Unit, I/O Link Unit, or Intelligent I/O Unit, each bit will have a dedi-
cated function. Refer to Operation Manuals for the relevant Units for details.
With I/O Units, bits within a word are assigned to terminals starting at the top
of the I/O Unit with bit 00 and going sequentially to the bottom. If the first Unit
on the left of the first Rack (CPU Rack for all but C2000H Duplex Systems;
CPU I/O Rack for C2000H Duplex Systems) is an Input Unit, the top termi-
nals (i.e., the top input point) will be assigned IR 00000, the next terminals,
IR 00001, and so forth for all of the terminals on the Unit. The allocation or-
