System Planning
Consider the following when planning your CompactLogix system:
· The CompactLogix controller is always the left-most module in the system.
· The controller must be located within four modules of the system power
supply. Some I/O module’s may be located up to 8 modules away from the
power supply. See the documentation for your 1769 I/O modules for details.
· The 1769-L20 controller supports up to 8 I/O modules in a maximum of 2
I/O banks (1 expansion cable allowed).
· The 1769-L30 controller supports up to 16 I/O modules in a maximum of 3
I/O banks (2 expansion cables allowed).
· Each I/O bank requires its own power supply.
· Only one controller can be used in a CompactLogix system.
· A 1769-ECR (right end cap) or 1769-ECL (left end cap) is required to
terminate the end of the communication bus.
