Connecting Expansion Modules 

An adapter provides the interface between the OPLC and an expansion module. To connect the I/O module to 
the adapter or to another module: 
1.

Push the module-to-module connector into the port located on the right side of the device.

Note that there is a protective cap provided with the adapter.  This cap covers the port of the final 
 I/O module in the system. 

To avoid damaging the system, do not connect or disconnect the device when the
power is on.

Wiring 

Do not touch live wires.

Unused pins should not be connected.  Ignoring this directive may damage the device.
Double-check all wiring before turning on the power supply.
Do not connect the ‘Neutral or ‘Line’ signal of the 110/220VAC to the device’s 0V pin.
In the event of voltage fluctuations or non-conformity to voltage power supply specifications,
connect the device to a regulated power supply.
Double-check all the wiring before turning on the power supply.
