I/O Filler Module
The VersaMax I/O Filler Module (IC200ACC301 can be used as a placeholder
for a future I/O module. The I/O Filler has no electrical components. It installs
on any VersaMax I/O Carrier in the same way as an I/O module. The carrier is
not wired to field devices. The I/O Filler Module protects the carrier electronics
against contamination and mechanical damage and also gives the installed
equipment a finished appearance.

FILLER
NO ELECTRONICS
The CPU or NIU at the head of the equipment sees the carrier where the I/O
Filler Module is installed as an “empty” slot. In a VersaMax PLC system that will
be configured using the configuration software, the I/O Filler Module and its
carrier can be located in any I/O module slot. However, in a system that will be
configured using autoconfiguration, the I/O Filler Module and its carrier must be
located in the last slot, because autoconfiguration stops at the first empty slot.
