PN/IO with non-redundant I/Os
The following diagram illustrates an example of a topographical configuration with one
switch. Two IO devices are connected as non-redundant units and the other three IO devices
as redundant-system units.

Maximum number of IO devices
You can connect a maximum number of 256 IO devices to the two integrated PN/IO
interfaces. The station numbers range from 1 to 256 and must be unique at both the PN/IO
interfaces, i.e. they must not be assigned to a station more than once.
