First Column

Displays the address of the I/O point. This address can be used to reference the I/O point in User Programs or the Program Triggers, but the preferred method is to use the tag name.

Assigned To

Displays the physical location of the I/O point.

RMC70 expansion modules are numbered 1 to 4, starting closest to the RMC70 base unit.

RMC150 slots are named, from left to right, Comm, CPU, Sensor 1, Sensor 2, Sensor 3, and Sensor 4.

RMC70 Example: D8 [Exp#2] I/O 4. This I/O point is located on the second expansion module, which is a D8, on I/O 4.

RMC150 Example: DI/O in Sensor #3, Out 2. This is discrete output #2 in the Sensor #3 slot.

Tag Name

The tag name assigned to the I/O point by the user. This cell is editable. Use the tag name to reference the I/O point in User Programs or the Program Triggers.

Type

This cell specifies whether the I/O point is an input or output. If the I/O point is configurable as either an input or output, you can change by double-clicking the cell and choosing or Input or Output.

Program State

Valid only for outputs. Defines the state of the output when the RMC enters PROGRAM mode. See the Configuring Discrete IO topic for details.

Fault State

Valid only for outputs. Defines the state of the output when the RMC receives a Fault Controller (8) command. See the Configuring Discrete IO topic for details.

Description

Enter a description of the I/O point in this column.
