IR Area
The functions of the IR area are explained below.

Input and Output Areas

IR area bits are allocated to terminals on I/O Output Units and Dedicated I/O Units. They reflect the ON/OFF status of input and output signals. Input bits begin at IR 00000, and output bits begin at IR 10000. With the CQM1H, only IR 00000 through IR 01515 can be used as input bits and only IR 10000 through IR 11515 can be used as output bits. Note Input bits cannot be used in output instructions. Do not use the same output bit in more than one OUT and/or OUT NOT instruction, or the program will not execute properly.

3-2-2

Work Areas
The work bits can be used freely within the program. They can only be used within the program, however, and not for direct external I/O. Work bits are reset (i.e., turned OFF) when the CQM1H power supply is turned OFF or when operation begins or stops. The following table shows the parts of the IR area that have been set aside for use as work areas.
Words IR 016 to IR 089 (74 words) IR 116 to IR 189 (74 words) IR 216 to IR 219 (4 words) IR 224 to IR 229 (6 words) Bits IR 01600 to IR 08915 (1,184 bits) IR 11600 to IR 18915 (1,184 bits) IR 21600 to IR 21915 (64 bits) IR 22400 to IR 22915 (96 bits)

The bits in the ranges shown below have specific functions, but can still be used as work bits when their specific functions are not being used.
Range IR 001 to IR 015 IR 090 to IR 095 IR 096 to IR 099 IR 100 to IR 115 IR 190 to IR 195 IR 196 to IR 199 IR 200 to IR 215 IR 220 to IR 223 IR 230 to IR 231 IR 232 to IR 243 Function When allocated to Input Units, these bits serve as input bits. When a Controller Link Unit is mounted to the PC, these bits indicate the status of the Data Link. When the MACRO instruction is used, these bits serve as operand input bits. When allocated to Output Units, these bits serve as output bits. When a Controller Link Unit is mounted to the PC, these bits indicate information on errors and nodes in the network. When the MACRO instruction is used, these bits serve as operand output bits. These bits are used by an Inner Board mounted in slot 1. These bits serve to store the analog settings when an Analog Setting Board is installed. When high-speed counter 0 is used, these bits are used to store its present value. These bits are used by an Inner Board mounted in slot 2.

I/O Allocation
I/O words are allocated to I/O Units and Dedicated I/O Units in order from the left, beginning with IR 001 for inputs and IR 100 for outputs. The CPU Units 16 input points are allocated to IR 000. I/O bits are allocated in one-word units, even for I/O Units that require only 8 bits. Note Input and output bits are not allocated to Inner Boards or Communications Units.

Section 3-2
There isnt a registered I/O table in CQM1H PCs, so it isnt necessary to register an I/O table from a Programming Device. Just mount the desired Units in the PC and I/O is allocated automatically.

I/O bits are allocated in one-word units, even for I/O Units that require only 8 bits.

These bits are allocated.

The unused input bits (08 to 15) cannot be used as work bits, but unused output bits (08 to 15) can be used as work bits. 16-point I/O Units One input word is allocated to each 16-point Input Unit and one output word is allocated to each 16-point Output Unit. Input or output points 0 to 15 correspond to bits 00 to 15 of the allocated word.

32-point I/O Units

Section 3-2
Two input words are allocated to each 32-point Input Unit and two output words are allocated to each 32-point Output Unit. I/O points 0 to 15 of connector pin A correspond to bits 00 to 15 of the first allocated word (n) and I/O points 0 to 15 of connector pin B correspond to bits 00 to 15 of the next allocated word (n+1).
32-point Units Two words allocated

Dedicated I/O Units

Dedicated I/O Units require a predetermined number of input bits, output bits, or both input and output bits. In some Dedicated I/O Units, the number of words required may depend on the Units DIP switch settings. For example, a CQM1-AD041 Analog Input Unit requires either 4 input words or 2 input words. (The Analog Input Unit requires 4 input words when 4 analog inputs are being used and 2 input words when 2 analog inputs are being used.)
Analog inputs Four words allocated

Input words and output words that were not allocated to Units can be used as work words. I/O Allocation Example CPU Block Only This example shows the I/O allocation for a PC with two DC Input Units, two Transistor Output Units, and a Sensor Unit.

Note

Section 3-2
1. I/O words are not allocated to the I/O Control Unit or I/O Interface Unit. 2. I/O words are not allocated to the Analog Power Supply Unit, but it is counted as one of the mounted Units.

I/O Capacity and Requirements

The number of I/O bits that can be allocated depends on the CQM1H CPU Unit being used, as shown in the following table. Be sure to take into account the one input word (IR 000) that is automatically allocated to inputs on the CPU Unit. If the number of words allocated exceeds the capacity of the CPU Unit, a fatal I/O UNIT OVER error (error code E1) will occur.
CPU Unit Max. number of I/O bits Number of I/O words available to Units other than the CPU Unit 31 (15 input words, 16 output words)

CQM1H-CPU61 512 bits (256 inputs and 256 outputs) CQM1H-CPU51 (32 words: 16 input and 16 output words) CQM1H-CPU21 256 bits CQM1H-CPU11

Refer to page 153 for a table showing how many I/O words are required by each I/O Unit and page 154 for a table showing how many I/O words are required by each Dedicated I/O Unit. AR 22 indicates the number of input words and output words that have been allocated, as shown in the following diagram.
Word AR 22 Bits Function Data range 00 to 07 The number of input words that 01 to 16 (2-digit BCD) have been allocated. 08 to 15 The number of output words 00 to 16 (2-digit BCD) that have been allocated.

The CQM1H does not have a Backplane, so it isnt necessary to deal with empty slots when allocating I/O words. The lowest available I/O word addresses are allocated automatically. Inputs are automatically allocated to input words and outputs are automatically allocated to output words regardless of the order in which the Input Units and Output Units are mounted. Even though I/O allocation is not affected, it is recommended that the Input Units be mounted together and Output Units be mounted together to make the word allocation easier to understand and help eliminate problems with noise.
