SRS.

The slot assignment is defined as follows:
1. Slot 1 and slot 2 on each base plate are reserved for system bus modules.
Do not insert any other module into these slots!
2. Only slots complying with the rules specified in the next section are permitted for
processor modules.
3. Once the slots for the processor modules are determined, I/O and communication
modules may be inserted into all remaining slots.
Slots Permitted for Processor Modules
The following rules must be observed when assigning the slots to the processor modules,
also in the Hardware Editor:
1. A maximum of four processor modules may be used.
2. Processor modules may only be inserted in the following slots:
- Slots 3 to 6 on rack 0.
- Slots 3 to 4 on rack 1.
3. Slot 5 on rack 0 and slot 4 on rack 1 may not simultaneously contain processor
modules.
4. Slot 6 on rack 0 and slot 3 on rack 1 may not simultaneously contain processor

Mono operation:The project is configured in SILworX for mono operation and has only
one processor module in slot 3, at least one system bus module in slot 1, I/O modules
and possibly communication modules. The switch for mono start-up must be set within
SILworX. It is always possible (and recommended!) to configure the system bus mod-
ules redundantly!
