Checking PLC Login
Next, log the module into the PLC I/O configuration. The 2572 logs in as a special function module
with 2 WX and 6 WY words. To configure the PLC I/O refer to your PLC programming software
manual. In the example below, the 2572 module is installed into slot 1 on I/O base 0 and will be
logged in starting at address 1. Your configuration may differ.

Figure 11. Sample I/O Configuration
After you read the I/O base, if the number of WX and WY words are the same as those shown in the
example above and Special function = YES, then the PLC can recognize the module. Change the
address as required by your application and save the result. If the line is blank or erroneous, re-check
the module to ensure that it is firmly seated in the I/O base slot. Generate the PLC I/O configuration
chart again by reading the I/O base. If the problem persists, contact your distributor or contact CTI.
NOTE:
If you do not log the module in correctly, it will not function properly.
