7.1.
Support for N-Port Modules
N-port communication
modules provide
two
or
four serial ports
and can be inserted into the slot
of an LP-8x2x/9x2x embedded controller. In this way, additional serial ports can be used on the
LP-8x2x/9x2x embedded controller, meaning that the maximum number of serial ports available
on the LP-8x2x/9x2x will be expanded to
thirty-four
.
LP-8x2x
The LP-8x2x embedded controller is a multi-tasking unit, meaning that all the serial ports can be
controlled simultaneously.
The number
of
each serial port on the
I-8114W and I-8112iW modules
are presented in Figures 7.1-1 and 7.1-2. The information illustrated in Figure 7.1-5 is for the
LP-8121 only and is
fixed
based on their slot position.
