Plus CPU module
To use analog I/O cartridges with the Plus CPU module, connect a cartridge base module equipped with two cartridge slots to the
left side of the Plus CPU module. The Plus CPU module can be expanded with a maximum of four analog inputs or analog outputs
by connecting a maximum of two analog I/O cartridges.
Furthermore, the Plus CPU module can be expanded with a maximum of two analog inputs or analog outputs by connecting the
HMI module to the left side of the cartridge base module and connecting one analog I/O cartridge.
For example, when the cartridge base module is connected to the Plus CPU module and the HMI module is connected to the
cartridge base module, the Plus CPU module can be expanded with a maximum of six analog inputs or analog outputs by
connecting a maximum of three analog I/O cartridges.
Select the analog I/O cartridges for the connected devices and configure the signal type.
