Mount the Optional Expansion Blocks
Mount the expansion block by connecting it to a
previously-installed CompactBlock LDX I/O base or expansion
block.
Beginning with the base block, you can mount your
expansion blocks either horizontally or vertically:
• horizontally (left to right) - add expansion blocks in an
end-to-end configuration
• vertically (up or down) - add expansion blocks either up or
down in a back-to-back configuration. In this configuration,
you must use the optional 15cm ribbon cable
(1790-15CMCBL) and alternately position the blocks in a
right-side up, upside-down fashion.
You can mount your blocks on a panel or DIN rail as
described in the previous section.
IMPORTANT
The analog base blocks can accommodate a
maximum of two discrete expansion blocks.
The RTD and thermocouple base blocks do
not support any expansion blocks.
