ii) Move the cursor icon up and down in the block allocation column until
the desired word is displayed.
The column will scroll upwards when the cursor icon is drug to the top
of the column and it will scroll downwards when the cursor icon is drug
the bottom of the column.
iii) Release the left mouse button over the "High" or "Low" byte in the
desired word. The required number of bytes will be allocated to the
Slave starting with that byte.
When the Slave requires two or more bytes, always release the
mouse button over the "Low" byte.
7. If you want remote I/O communications to start automatically when the Mas-
ter starts, click on the box next to "Start Remote I/O Communication at
Start-Up." Remote I/O communications will start automatically if there is a
check (n) mark in this box.
Note 1. When the icon for a Slave that requires memory in both the output and input
areas is dragged to one of the areas, memory is automatically allocated in
the other area beginning with the word calculated with the following equa-
tion:
Word address = Starting block word + node address –1
If a block hasn't been set for the other area or the automatically allocated
word exceeds the block's range, an error will occur and it won't be possible
to allocate I/O. In this case, increase the size of the block or use method 1 to
allocate I/O.
