Relationship Between I/O Hardware and Memory Field I/O device is considered load. Must provide sources of potential for I/O To voltage source Memory Map I/O points mapped to memory by PLC software. Users must specify address when programming. Determined by I/O hardware address Output Load Output Module Status Word
