The components in the XN300 I/O system can be networked into a CAN
node with the XControl: XC-204-…, XC-303-… modular PLCs
with the Eaton CAN-Gateway XN-312-GW-CAN.
Each CAN node makes it possible to add expansions with the I/O system
XN300 by adding up to 32 XN300 slice modules.

To do this, you will need to mount the system block consisting of a gateway
and XN300 slice modules on a DIN-rail. The system block and the PLC can be
mounted separately from each other. The XN300 system has a large range of
XN300 slice modules available that offer special functionalities in addition to
digital and analog inputs and outputs, with two examples being a weigh mod-
ule and a motor driver module. For an overview of the XN300 slice modules,
please refer to the "XN300 slice modules" manual.
The distance between the modular PLCs and an XN300 gateway can be up
to 1000 m. The actual value depends on the baud rate used – please refer to
￫ Section “Table 6 Max. cable lengths CAN”, page 28.
