• Connect the Control Unit to the Expansion Unit, Intelligent unit (FP1 A/D Converter Unit, FP1 D/A Converter Unit)
or FP1 I/O Link Unit using Expansion Cable that folds out of sight and out of the way. In addition, concealing the
Expansion Cable helps avoid the potentially adverse effects of electrical noise.
Notes:
• A maximum of two Expansion Units, one FP1 A/D Converter Unit, two FP1 D/A Converter Units, and one
FP1 I/O Link Unit can be simultaneously connected to one Control Unit.
• There are no restrictions on the order in which units are connected.
• An E8 series and E16 series Expansion Unit cannot be connected in succession.
Refer to page 11, “1-3. Expansion and Configurations”, for details about combination of units.
• Units must be connected left to
right of each unit, therefore,
please use the Expansion Cable
(30 cm/0.984 ft.: AFP15103, 50
cm/1.640 ft.: AFP15105) when the
units are aligned as shown in the
right illustration.
