1 Output modules use the same output image table bits
2 Can be 8-point input or output module or single-slot block transfer module

Outputs in the complementary chassis use the same bits in the output image table as
the outputs in the primary chassis.

Follow these guidelines when you select 2-slot addressing:
Place an 8-point output module opposite a 16-point input module.
An I/O group having a 16-point input and output module cannot have a
corresponding I/O group in the complementary chassis.
You can place an output module opposite another output module; they
reflect the same bits in the output image table.
You can use block-transfer modules in a complementary I/O system, with
these restrictions:
When using double-slot block-transfer modules:
The left slot of the complementary I/O group must be empty.
You can only place an 8-point output module (if any) in the right
slot of the complementary I/O group.
