Chapter 4: System Design and Configuration
NOTE: When applying power to the CPU (DL250–1/260) and local expansion bases, make sure the
1
expansion bases power up at the same time or before the CPU base. Expansion bases that power up after
the CPU base will not be recognized by the CPU. (See chapter 3 Initialization Process timing
specifications).

DL250–1 Local Expansion System
3
The D2–250–1 supports local expansion up to three total bases ( one CPU base + two local
expansion bases) and up to a maximum of 768 total I/O points. An example local expansion
4
system is shown below. All local and expansion I/O points are updated on every CPU scan.
No specialty modules can be located in the expansion bases (refer to the Module Placement
Table earlier in this chapter for restrictions).

• The CPU base can be located at any base position in the expansion system.
• All discrete and analog modules are supported in the expansion bases. Specialty modules are
A
not supported in the expansion bases.
• The D2–CMs do not have to be in successive numerical order, however, the numerical
B
rotary selection determines the X and Y addressing order. The CPU will recognize the local
and expansion I/O on power–up. Do not duplicate numerical selections.
C
• The TERM (termination) switch on the two endmost D2–EMs must be in the ON
position. The other D2–EMs in between should be in the OFF position.
D
• Use the D2–EXCBL–1 or equivalent cable to connect the D2–EMs together. Either of the
RJ45 ports (labelled A and B) on the D2–EM can be used to connect one base to another.
