Maping inputs/outputs PLC Direct

Hello, I am a new PLC Direct user and I am writting a program for a chemical process using Direct Logic 205. I have three questions:
1) I placed two analog input modules (F2-08AS-1) in the first two slots of the base, how do I access these inputs in the program? I know that digital inputs are Xs, but analog?


2) I am using an extension base, where do I place the expansion module D2-EM?


3) I will place 1 DC input module (D2-12TA) and two digital outputs (D2-16TD2-2) on the expansion base, what are the addresses of those signals (i.e. X and Y)????

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The product manuals which are available free online HERE should answer all your questions.

If you plan on using the D2-EM, you need to install a D2-CM in the first slot of the expansion base. The D2-EM is attached to the right side of the base. You need to have 1 for each base that is in your system.

As Bernie said, the manuals will give you more detailed info on setting up the Analog modules.

By the way, the D2-12TA is an AC output module, not an input module. The D2-8ND3 is a DC input module.

The addresses will be dependent on what cards are closer to the power supply. I always place my discrete Input/Output cards before the analog cards. That way, my I/O can start with X0/Y0.

Thanks for the feedback, now I have a better idea. Yes, my mistake the D2-12TA is AC output module.

Here is an example setting up the analog card in the first slot. Register V2000 will have 0-4095 data for 0-100% of the analog signal. Some of these parameters change depending on card location and model etc. so check the manual for the correct values.

Tom,

You forgot to mention that the first slot this code represents is actually the second slot in the rack.
