Up to eight 1769 Compact I/O modules can reside on each
side of a 1769 power supply in a remote bank. Consult the
module’s specifications for its distance rating.

The type of controller determines the maximum number of
1768 modules that can reside in the local bank and the
maximum number of 1769 I/O modules that can reside in one
local and up to two remote banks.
