  • Page 5: Introduction

    The ProTalk Link modules plug together to build up the system you want. Every system has one Main module and one or more expander modules. Throughout the manual, the modules are referred to in short form in this way: the B1285-M1 is an M1 module, the B1285-W1 is a W1 and so on.

    I/O functionality. The first expander module is plugged into the Main module, then the next expander into the first expander and so on. The ProTalk Link System accepts a maximum of 16 modules (B1285-M1 module + a maximum of 15 expander modules).
