SECTION 2
System Design
Although there are many possible Remote I/O Systems that can be built out of Masters, Slaves and Remote Terminals,
each System is limited by the capacity of the PC and the nature of the other Units in the System. Section 2-1 describes
System configurations based on the C500-RM201 Master and C500-RT201 Slave (i.e., for C120, C500, C1000H, and
C2000H Systems), and outlines connection requirements, mounting restrictions, and System size limitations. Section 2-2
provides the same information for C200H Systems. Section 2-3 explains combining Masters and Slaves from different
Systems. Finally, Section 2-4 describes how to incorporate optical links into Wired Remote I/O Systems.
