4.1.2 Slave Station System (Slave Unit)

When installing a "FP2 Remote I/O Slave Unit" or "FP3 Remote I/O Slave Unit" instead of a CPU, the
slave station with the slave unit is controlled by the CPU on the master station.
Installation condition
Install a slave unit in the CPU slot position of the master backplane.
-
With FP2 backplane H type
-
When using a 1-module type power supply unit, a space of 1 module will be created between a slave
station and the power supply unit. In this case, do not install a wiring line in this space.
In the I/O slots, you can install input units, output units or advanced units which are controlled by the
-
CPU from the master station. (For information on the installing method, refer to the case of a master
unit in the previous page.)Note that some advanced units cannot be installed.
Although the conditions of system configuration (such as number of expansion and restrictions on
-
power supply) are the same as the normal case, be sure to use expansion cables of 1.2 m or shorter
when adding expansion units.
