Maximum Quantity of Applicable Expansion Modules
This section describes precautions for installing the expansion RS232C communication module in connection with the
internal current draw by other expansion modules.
The all-in-one 24-I/O type CPU module (except 12V DC power type) can mount a maximum of three expansion RS232C
communication modules. The slim type CPU module can mount a maximum of five expansion RS232C communication
modules.
Including expansion RS232C communication modules and other expansion modules, the all-in-one type CPU module can
mount a maximum of four expansion modules, and the slim type CPU module can mount a maximum of seven expansion
modules, unless the total internal current draw by all connected expansion modules exceeds the allowable current draw
of the CPU module. Make sure that the total internal current draw does not exceed the current capacity of the CPU
module.
Allowable Total Internal Current Draw
Note:
The all-in-one 24-I/O type CPU module cannot use the expansion RS232C/RS485 communication module in combination with
function modules listed below. When using the expansion RS232C/RS485 communication module and these function modules, use the
slim type CPU module.
Internal Current Draw by Expansion Modules
Note 1:
A maximum of two AS-Interface master modules can be mounted even if the total current draw is within the limits.
Only one expansion interface module or expansion interface master module can be mounted to a CPU module, and is not included in
the calculation of the total current draw by expansion modules.
Note 2:
Values indicated in square brackets represent FC5A-SIF2 earlier than version 200.
