Introduction
3.6 Remote Expansion Module (Probus-DP)
1)  Basic specications
Item Specications
Power supply voltage
24 VDC (20.4 VDC to 28.8 VDC) (–15% to +20%)
,
 which can be connected from an 
external power supply.
Output current of the internal 5 
V power supply
1200 mA (rated)
Protocol for communication 
with CPU module
Probus-DP
Maximum baud rate: 12 Mbps
Probus-DP communication 
baud rate
9.6 Kbps to 12 Mbps. The speed automatically adapts to that of the Probus-DP 
master station.
Station number range
The Probus-DP station number ranges from 1 to 125, but you can only use 31 
numbers in the range. You can use the DIP switch to set the station number.
Expandability of subsequent I/
O expansion modules
A maximum of 16 I/O expansion modules can be connected. The number and 
conguration vary depending on power consumption of the modules.

Address switch (rotary 
switch)
ADDR1
The station address is set with a 16-bit DIP switch. Decimal slave station address 
= ADDR1 x 16 + ADDR0 (address range: 1 to 125). For details about the use
,
 see 
"Chapter 5 Wiring"
.
Note: The number of values that a DIP switch can set is 153 (9 x 16 + 9 x 1). The 
Probus-DP station number range is 1 to 125. Therefore
,
 you need to avoid 
using station numbers greater than 125.
