Figure 1-4. NETio Base Module Interface Connectors & LEDs

Figure 1-5

shows the interface connectors for a typical NETio Expan-

sion Module. The number and function of LEDs, as well as the presence
of the WeXP antenna connector and the 24 Vdc power output, is depen-
dent on the model.

(Typical Model)

Together, the NETio Base and Expansion modules offer deployment
alternatives that are uniquely scalable to a user’s I/O count, distance and
location requirements.
