CONNECT THE FBXi SERIES TO FLX UNITS
The I/O capabilities of a FBXi Series can be extended by the addition of FLX-8R8 and FLX-8R8-H devices.
Supported FLX modules
FBXi-X256 :
16 modules
FBXi-X48 :
3 modules
FBXi-8R8
5 modules
FBXi-8R8-H
5 modules

FBXi-X256 :
256 points
FBXi-X48 :

These are connected to the FBXi Series Controller by means of a standard module interconnector (FLX bus
connector), one of which is shipped with each FLX device.
SET THE FLX ADDRESS
Each of the FLX units connected to a single FBXi must have an address that is unique on that FBXi’s FLX bus.
The address is set by the 5-way DIP switch.
The terminals on a FLX unit will be accessible within the FBXi Strategy with point numbers prefixed by this
address as illustrated below:

Note: If there are 2 devices on the same FLX bus with the same address – including 0 , the address of the FBXi -
then the bottom (yellow) status LED will blink slowly to indicate a FLX bus address clash.
Note: FLX addresses must be consecutive, starting at 0.
