Expansion Power Supply and Cables
With Operating System Revision Number (FRN) 3 or higher, you can
connect an additional bank of I/O to your controller. Using an
expansion power supply increases the system’s capacity for adding
expansion I/O modules. The additional I/O bank is connected to the
controller via a specially designed cable. The additional I/O bank
must include a power supply and an end cap.
System Requirements for Using Expansion Modules
To support a maximum of 8 I/O modules in an additional I/O bank,
you must have the following:
TIP
Depending on the system configuration, each
controller can support up to 16 expansion I/O
modules. See the System Requirements for Using
Expansion Modules below. Also see System
Guidelines on page 1-9 for system limitations and
illustrations of expansion I/O banks.
