4.1 System Planning Considerations
Network Conception
 The ILX69-PBM can communicate with up to 125 PROFIBUS slave devices.
 A 1769-ECR (right end cap) or 1769-ECL (left end cap) is required to terminate the end
of the Compact I/O bus.
 Each bank of CompactLogix I/O must have its own power supply.
 A CompactLogix I/O power supply has limits of +5V to +24V DC. These limits depend
on the catalog number (e.g. 1769-PA2) of the power supply. A bank of modules must not
exceed the current limits of the I/O bank power supply. Refer to the Compact 1769
Expansion I/O Power Supplies Installation Instructions.
 The ILX69-PBM has a distance rating of 2. Therefore, the module must be within 2 slots
of the I/O bank’s power supply.
Configuration and Network Communication
 Determine the PROFIBUS baud rate based on standard PROFIBUS system
considerations.
 Identify the number of words of I/O data each slave supports.
