(2) Method for controlling I/O module and intelligent function module
It is necessary to set which CPU module is to control which I/O modules and/or
intelligent function modules in the multiple CPU system (control CPU setup).
* 1 Indicates the grouping configuration on the C Controller setting utility.
CPU module "1" represents "CPU No.1", and "1" of the I/O module and intelligent function module
indicates that their "control CPU is CPU No.1".
The CPU module that controls I/O modules and/or intelligent function modules is
called as a "Control CPU".
The I/O modules and intelligent function modules controlled by the control CPU are
called "controlled modules".
Other modules not controlled by the control CPU are called as "non-controlled
modules".
