6.5 Expansion of Main Unit (Calculation of Current Consumption)
6.5.3 Quick reference matrix [when only input/output devices are added] (DC Power Type)
The following matrix shows the expandable units up to the { mark, where the desired inputs (horizontal axis)
and outputs (vertical axis) intersect. System are expandable up to
z mark when the supply voltage is 16.8V to
19.2V.
Caution
When FX
2N-8ER and FX2N-8ER-ES/UL are added, refer to Subsection 6.5.4.
Select the input/output extension block (number of points) to be connected
to the main unit
The DC power type main units have restrictions in expandable I/O points since they lack a built-in service
power supply.
