Install the I/O Module(s)
It does not matter where you install each I/O module, except in the following cases:
• If you plan to cascade power between any I/O modules using the V and C terminals,
those modules should be grouped together.
• For more accurate measurements, place thermocouple modules away from heat
sources, including network modules and relay modules.
A. Align slots on module with guide rails
on base, and press module onto base
until terminal base latch locks module
in place.
B. Repeat for each I/O module.

CAUTION Cascading power defeats isolation.
