Layout of modules on several racks

Overview
With the C230-2, a 2-tier layout is possible.
Interconnection modules
Interconnection modules are required for the 2-tier layout which route the back-
plane bus from one rack to the other. The C230-2 is always on rack 0.
Interconnection module
IM 365 SEND
IM 365 RECEIVE
IM 365 interconnection modules
The two IM 365 interconnection modules have a fixed connection via a 1 m long
connection cable.
The total power consumption of the inserted I/O modules of both racks must not
exceed 1.2 A; the power consumption from rack 1 is limited to 800 mA.
Rules
The following rules apply with respect to the layout of the modules on two racks:
S The interconnection module always occupies Slot 3 and is always left of the first
signal module.
S No more than 8 modules may be inserted per rack. These modules are always
to the right of the interconnection modules.
S The number of inserted modules is limited by the permissible power consump-
tion from the backplane bus. The total current drawn must not exceed 1.2 A
(see "Technical data" table of the individual modules in the manual S7-300 Au-
tomation Systems, M7-300 module data).
