Hi all,
I have an allen bradley PLC (5/03 CPU) the 1st card is a devicenet card with 32 words inputs and 32 words outputs.
I'm a complete newbie to AB so bear that in mind when reading and responding to this question..
I need a couple of inputs at one of the nodes. There are no inputs free but a full output card (i.e. 4 bits) is free. Can I just take out the output card and swap it with an input card?
If so.. are the addresses created the same as the Output addresses but just with an I in front of them. ie.
Output card has O:1.11/0 - O:1.11/3
I swap it with an input card do they become..
I:1.11/0 - I:1.11/3
??
I've only used AB a couple of times in the past and I've never used DeviceNet before so any help/pointers will be most appreciated.
Many thanks
