Addressing I/O module objects in TSX 37-10/21/22

Addressing of the main word and bit objects in I/O modules is defined as follows :
% I or Q X, W, or D
Format X = Boolean W = Word D = Double Word

x
Position 1 to 8 (TSX 37-10) 1 to 10 (TSX 37-21/22)

i
Channel Number

Symbol Type of object I = Input Q = Output
