Chapter 6  Remote Drop Configuration with a Hand–held Monitor
Select a Series Six or Series Five PLC Reference Address 
If the host is a Series Six PLC or Series Five PLC, an I/O or register reference address
must be assigned to the Remote I/O Scanner.  This is done on the Program Block ID
screen.  It is also necessary to configure Series 90–70 data types and lengths, as
described later in this chapter.

Configuration Steps
1.
The Reference Address is entered in the same PROG BLOCK ID display.   Press F1
(Reference).
2.
To select register or I/O memory, press the F2 (Toggle) key to toggle the memory
type.  With the correct memory type displayed, press F3 (Enter).
If I/O memory is used, the amount required is equal to the number  of bits of
discrete data PLUS analog data. Each analog reference used consumes 16 points.
Data is stored beginning at the assigned I/O reference.  In the Input Table, the
sequence is: discrete inputs then analog inputs.  In the Output Table, the sequence
is discrete outputs then analog outputs. This is illustrated in chapter 3.
If register memory is used, an amount is required that is equal to the total number
of bytes of input data PLUS all of the output data. Data is stored beginning at the
assigned register reference.  The sequence is: discrete inputs, then analog inputs,
then discrete outputs, and analog outputs last.  See chapter 3 for more information.
3.
Key in the number of the block’s beginning I/O reference.  The Hand–held
Monitor will accept any number up to 65,535; the number you enter must be
appropriate for the PLC.
4.
If you make a mistake entering the number, press F2 (Change), F1 (Reference),
then enter the correct number.   Press the F3 (Enter) key.  The HHM will
automatically supply the range of references correct for the block.
