DCM Addressing Worksheet
This appendix provides a worksheet for keeping track of the elements of each
I/O address for your system’s DCMs. Topics include:
• directions
• addressing review
In the table on the next page, enter the elements of each I/O address for each
DCM in your system. All DCM inputs and outputs are addressed with
respect to the SLC.
Make sufficient copies of this worksheet to cover all DCMs in your system.
