The Digital input config should look like this:

Bits 1 to 48 are attributed to DO[1] to DO[48]. Bits 49 to 64 are attributed to DO[209] to DO[224] which is the Euromap 67 option. Bits 81 to 96 are attributed to DO[49] to DO[64]. With this setup, the Euromap output card is the fourth output card on the rack. When you add output cards, always put them after the Euromap card. If no Euromap is installed, then you can install them after the ones already on the rack.
