Expansion Module
Multiple NETio-XM Expansion modules can optionally attach to the
Base Module if a higher I/O count is needed. No additional power or
interconnection wiring is required for Expansion Modules that are phys-
ically attached to the Base Module. Expansion Modules can also be
equipped with WeXP 2.4 GHz functionality, which allows them to be
installed up to 3000 feet (914 meters) from a Base Module and Wireless
Expansion Modules then associate with each other as though they were
physically connected. There are six Expansion Module configurations
summarized in
Table 1-1 . Expansion Modules are available with or
without the WeXP capability.
