The I/O Network put communication boards, and terminates at the last input or output board on the network. A dia- gram of this network arrangement is shown in Figure 3-1. Although the MultiFlex CUB can operate as a stand-alone controller, it relies on an E2, Ein- stein, or REFLECS unit for advanced features such as remote dial-in/dial-out, logging, and alarm control.
