Where (address-bit) do I find the CPU confirmation that a CTRINT is installed? The manual says the CPU registers its presence automatically. Since we'll be using the CTRINT in only some of the machines, I want the PLC /HMI to ignore the relevant code if a CTRINT is not installed.

If you have a free input point on the CTRINT the set it for a standard input with filtering. Hard wire a jumper to the ON voltage. Check for this in the program. If it is not there then the CTRINT isn't there.
But a major problem with leaving off the CTRINT is if automatic addressing of the I/O is used. If you do not have anything in the slot then X's and Y's will be shifted down.If instead of leaving the slot empty you install a D2-08CDR then the I/O mapping will be preserved. Jusst leave the one input open for ID purposes.
