2-36 OPENNET CONTROLLER USER’S MANUAL
Remote I/O Master Module
The remote I/O master module is used to configure a remote I/O network to increase I/O points at remote stations. The
OpenNet Controller uses the INTERBUS network for communication with a maximum of 32 remote I/O slave stations.
For the remote I/O slave stations, IDEC’s SX5S communication I/O terminals are used. When using 32 SX5S modules
with 16 input or output points, a total of 512 I/O points can be distributed to 32 remote slave stations at the maximum.
For details about the remote I/O system, see page 24-1.
