module is uninhibited.

upper portion of the Controller Organizer.

screen looks like the following:
Tag addresses are automatically created for configured I/O modules. All local I/O
addresses are preceded by the word Local. These addresses have the following format:

In order to configure an I/O module, you must open up the configuration tag for that
module by clicking on the plus sign to the left of its configuration tag in the Controller
Tag data base.
