Configure FLEX I/O Digital Modules on a DeviceNet Network
Tally Memory
Requirements
The 1794-ADN FLEX I/O adapter packs the data of its I/O modules into a
contiguous block of input or output bytes. By default, the modules share DINT
elements in the scanner.
For example, to determine the amount of scanner memory that is required for
your adapter and its I/O modules
As an option, give each module its own memory location (DINTs) within the
scanner. This may make your programming easier. Assign one address for the
1794-ADN and all modules that you connect to it.
