I/O expansion modules are always connected on the right side of the base unit. For
example, a PNP or analog I/O expansion module can be added to an NPN base unit. A
female D-SUB 9 connector located on the left side of the module connects to a male D-SUB
9 connector on the right side of the base unit or previously installed I/O expansion module.
A maximum of three NLC-IO-... modules can be connected.

Communication expansion modules

Communication expansion modules (NLC-COM-tttt) are used to place a control system on
a network. Appropriate connectors for the type of communication are included on the
NLC-COM-.... For instance, an Ethernet-capable module uses an RJ45 connector.
Different expansion modules are required for different network types but only one
communication expansion module can be connected to the base unit at a time (a second
network can be connected through the RS-232 or RS-485 base unit option module).
Communication expansion modules are always connected on the left side of the base unit.
A female D-SUB 9 connector located on the right side of the module connects to a male D-
SUB 9 connector on the left side of the base unit.

Option module

Base unit option modules (NLC-MOD-...) are placed in the appropriate slot on the base unit.
A variety of option modules are available to accomplish specific purposes.
The slots for NLC-MOD-... modules are located on the face of the base module. The slots
are numbered 1 or 2, so the proper option module can be placed in the proper slot.
NOTE:
Option modules are not keyed to prevent entry into an incorrect slot. However, option
modules are not interchangeable between slots. Option modules intended for Slot 1 must
only be inserted in Slot 1, and option modules intended for Slot 2 must only be inserted in
Slot 2. Each slot is labeled on the face of the base unit, and each option module includes
a numeric indicator to indicate which slot is acceptable.
