Chapter 3 Addressing Modes for Your Remote I/O Follow these guidelines when configuring your remote system with complementary I/O chassis: Assign the complementary I/O rack number to a chassis of equal or smaller size than the primary chassis. If the complementary chassis is smaller than the primary one, set the last chassis switch on the complementary chassis to the ON position, unless the adapter is in the faulted I/O search mode.

Chapter 3 Addressing Modes for Your Remote I/O Thirty-two-point I/O modules need 32 input or 32 output bits in the processor’s image table. Because only 16 input and 16 output bits are available for each I/O group, to address a 32-point I/O module, the remote I/O adapter module uses the unused input or output word associated with the adjacent I/O slot.

Chapter 3 Addressing Modes for Your Remote I/O Complementary I/O with Some processors support a complementary I/O configuration. Refer to the 1/2 Slot Addressing user’s manual for your processor to see if it supports this type of configuration. You configure complementary I/O by duplicating an I/O rack number of one I/O chassis (primary) in another I/O chassis (complementary), I/O group for I/O group.
Chapter 3 Addressing Modes for Your Remote I/O Acceptable Chassis Not all chassis combinations are acceptable in making I/O rack number Combinations assignments. For example, a 1771-A4B I/O chassis cannot complete an assigned I/O rack number that starts in a 1771-A1 I/O chassis. Refer to Table 3.B for acceptable beginning I/O group numbers when making your I/O rack number assignments.
