Note
A MELSEC-WS safety controller can contain maximally two network interface
modules.
A MELSEC-WS safety controller can contain maximally twelve I/O modules.
Enable configurations with more than twelve I/O modules
Using Setting and Monitoring Tool version V1.7.0 or higher you can enable
configurations with up to 22 I/O modules. This feature makes it possible for you to
prepare a common maximum configuration for several similar systems and then to
adapt this configuration to the related system by simply deleting modules that are
not required.
For configurations containing more than twelve I/O modules, the following
restrictions apply:
– You can not connect to a system and the configuration can not be transferred to
the MELSEC-WS safety controller.
– Simulation is not possible.
A MELSEC-WS safety controller can only ever contain a maximum of two network
interface modules.
How to enable configurations with more than twelve I/O modules:
In the Hardware configuration view, click on the Settings icon at the left of the
Configuration area to open the Settings dialog.
On the General file card, activate the Enable additional XT modules option.
Click OK.
