Addressing Modes for Your Remote I/O
Chapter 3
3-22
Some processors support a complementary I/O configuration. Refer to the
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. The I/O modules in the complementary chassis
perform the opposite function of the corresponding modules in the primary
chassis.
Module Placement with 1/2slot Addressing
Figure 3.19 shows possible module placement for a complementary I/O
configuration with 1/2-slot addressing.
