NOTE
If the output number assigned to an "8 valves" module is more than the number of valve outputs
connected, the Diagnostic history "Error" occurs and ERR LED blinks (2.5kHz).
In addition, it is not possible to shift to Operational or Safe-Operational status.

The SI Unit can control up to 16 module sets
with 4 stations/8 points valve outputs.
(total 128 outputs)
The "8 valves" module contains 4 stations/8
points valve outputs as well as 4 stations/8
points diagnostic information.
Set the output No. (Slot No.) to which the "8
valves" module is assigned from the Slots.
The output No. which assigned "8 valves"
module have the process data for diagnostic
information and valve outputs.
Scan the SI Unit for first time configuration to
automatically set the slot to match the actual
valve manifold connected.
When slot setting for increasing or decreasing
the number of valve stations, check the actual
valve manifold connected.
