Configure a Conventional Analog Input Module
After you "accept" a module into the slot, a screen like this appears:

this module type
Assign I/O References for the Module
Specify the I/O references to be used by the module. For most applications, you can
simply have the Bus Interface Unit assign the next available references in that
memory type. Alternately, you can enter specific references for the module.
A. To assign the next available references, press F4 (entr).
B. If you want to change to another type of I/O table, press F3 (toggle).
C. If you want to assign specific references, enter the starting address. Press F4
(entr).
For most applications, all module references should fall within the
network map configured for the Bus Interface Unit. For local control, a
module can be configured outside the BIU network map.
In addition, each data type (I, Q, AI, AQ) has a total of 256 bytes
allocated within the BIU. So for each data type, all references must be
located within a 256-byte range. For example, if the starting address for
analog input data configured for the Bus Interface Unit was AI0101, all
analog inputs would need to be located between AI0101 and AI0228.
Module references are automatically assigned by the Bus Interface Unit based on its
configured data addresses, and the number of points appropriate for the module type.
To edit the module's configuration, press F4 (zoom).
