The condition where the ILX34-AENWG adapter cannot support the connection
due to a limit of the microprocessor's bandwidth is shown in the following dialog.

If you encounter this condition, the only action you can take is to alter the existing
connections to reduce the amount of microprocessor bandwidth consumed. The
most likely fixes for this condition include the following.
 Increase the RPI.
 Decrease the number of connections.

Empty Slots and RIUP Situations

The POINT I/O system does not have the ability to detect an empty terminal
base. Because of this, there are numerous situations in which you can potentially
configure a system that is unusable or one that exercises unintended control.

In an attempt to address these situations, you must observe the following rules
for POINT I/O system construction and the removal and reinsertion of modules.
 A correct POINT I/O system does not have any empty terminal bases.
 After you cycle power, the adapter will not run any I/O until the number of

modules comprising the chassis equals the stored chassis size.

o

Because the adapter cannot detect empty terminal bases, it cannot
assume any safe operation until there is a match between the number of
modules indicating their presence in the chassis and what the adapter has
saved in non-volatile memory.
