Extension module
Extension modules include I/O modules for increasing the number of input points and number of output points, and intelligent
function modules that can expand the network and positioning functions. Extension modules are connected on the right side
of the CPU module.
The two connection types, extension cable type and extension connector type, are provided for extension modules.

To connect an extension connector type module to an extension cable type module, a connector conversion module (FX5-
CNV-IF) is required.
In the same manner, to connect an extension cable type module to an extension connector type module, a connector
conversion module (FX5-CNV-IFC) is required.
■I/O module
The I/O module is used to expand inputs/outputs. Powered input/output modules and high-speed pulse input/output modules
are also available.
■Intelligent function module
The intelligent function module is a module that has functions other than input/output, such as the network and positioning
functions.
For details, refer to the user's manual for each module.

or an extension connector type to an extension cable type.
■Bus conversion module
