Fuji Electric MICREX-SX series - System Configuration and Mounting; Mounting on the Base Board

3-1
Section 3 System Configuration
3-1-1 Mounting position
To use these modules, they need to be connected to the SX bus of MICREX-SX series SPH or to the link (remote I/O) of I/O
master module. Their mounting position on the base board is as follows.
3-1 Mounting on the Base Board
<8/11/13-slot base board>
These modules can be mounted in any slot except those for the power supply module
(the two slots from the left on the base board).

Note: These modules can be mounted also on the base board of remote I/O such as T-link,OPCN-1 and DeviceNet.
3-1-2 Number of mountable modules
It is possible to connect a maximum of 238 modules to the SX bus (a maximum of 254 modules in one configuration including
the link of the I/O master) (due to hardware limitation). It should be noted, however, that the maximum number of analog
voltage/current input modules and analog voltage/current output modules that can actually be connected is limited by the
number of words (512 words) they occupy in the input/output areas (I/Q areas).
Because the number of words occupied by an analog 8ch module is 12 words and that occupied by an analog 4ch output
module and analog input/output module is 8 words, the maximum number of mountable modules becomes as follows:
Analog 8ch modules: 512 words / 12 words = 42 units
Analog 4ch modules / Analog input/output module: 512 words / 8 words = 64 units
Note: Suppose that 42 units of 8ch analog modules are connected in one configuration, then the input/output areas that other
input/output modules can use become 8 words.
