6.5 Expansion of Main Unit
The allowable extension to the main unit varies depending on used extension blocks as described below.
1. When connecting only the input/output extension block
Input/output extension blocks of up to 32 points can be connected.
However, when the extension power supply unit (FX3U-1PSU-5V) is used and the main unit is the nearest
upstream unit to the extension power supply unit, make sure that the number of points including the input
extension block (including the FX
2N-8ER-ES/UL and FX2N-8ER) extended to the extension power supply unit
does not exceed 32.
2. When connecting the input/output extension block and special function block
Input/output extension blocks of up to 16 points can be connected.
However, when the extension power supply unit (FX3U-1PSU-5V) is used and the main unit is the nearest
upstream unit to the extension power supply unit, make sure that the number of points including the input
extension block (including the FX
2N-8ER-ES/UL and FX2N-8ER) extended to the extension power supply unit
does not exceed 16.
Only 1 special function block can be connected.
