I/O Allocation

DeviceNet Configurator
4-2
I/O memory in the master can be allocated to data from the E5AR/ER-DRT
Digital Controller, such as data from the Digital Controller's variable area,
merely by specifying what Controller data is to be transferred to where.
Data is automatically exchanged between the master and Digital Controller,
allowing the Digital Controller to be controlled and monitored from the master
without requiring special communications programming.
