3.2.2.14 Dragging an Extension Rack
Drag an extension rack to another extension rack when the left mouse button is held. The two
extension racks will be interchanged. When the extension rack is dragged, the input/output devices
assigned to the modules on the extension rack, the comments about the modules on the extension
rack, the parameters in the modules on the extension rack, the data registers assigned to the
modules on the extension rack, and the parameters in the intelligent modules are also dragged.
However, the main rack is always at the top of the system configuration area.
3.2.2.15 Rearranging the Input/Output Devices
During a module configuration, modules may be dragged or copied/cut/pasted several times. The
input/output devices may be automatically assigned to the modules by the system, and may not be
arranged in order. After users click Input/Output Device Rearrange on the File menu, the
input/output devices assigned to all modules will be rearranged according to the slot numbers and
the rack numbers.
The rearrangement of the input/output devices does not change the data registers assigned to the
modules. During the rearrangement, if the input/output devices assigned to the modules conflicts
with the data registers assigned to the modules, the system will skip the data registers assigned to
the module, and provide the devices which can be used.
