PC Configuration
The SP-series PCs can be configured to control a control system of from 10
through 80 I/O points. An SP10 provides 10 I/O points (6 input and 4 output
points), an SP16 provides 16 I/O points (10 input and 6 output points), and
an SP20 provides 20 I/O points (12 input and 8 output points). A maximum of
4 SP-series PCs can be linked together via a Link Adapter, making a maxi-
mum of 80 I/O points with 4 SP20s.

Basic Configuration
When only one SP-series PC is used, the number of I/O points available is
10 with the SP10, 16 with the SP16, or 20 with the SP20. Here, the Program-
ming Console is connected directly to the CPU for programming and opera-
tion.

Expanded System Configuration: PC Links
Up to four PCs can be linked with a Link Adapter to increase the number of
I/O points to 80 maximum. Although each PC still operates on its own pro-
gram, no special programming is needed to transfer data between the PCs
via LR bits. Up to 128 bits of data (32 bits per PC) can be shared between
the PCs through their LR areas. Refer to 3-2-5 LR Area for details on LR bits.
