Expansion Options
The FX30E/FX60E provides for field-installable expansion
with two options:
• Option Cards: these are installed on connectors inside
the FX30E/FX60E base unit. See Option Cards.
• Accessory Modules: these are chained onto the
FX30E/FX60E’s 20-pin connector. See Accessories.
Option Cards
The FX30E/FX60E has two options slots for custom
option cards designed for use with the FX30E/FX60E.
Each slot has a 30-pin connector on the FX30E/FX60E
base unit.
Risk of Property Damage. Do not apply power to the
system before checking all wiring connections. Short
circuited or improperly connected wires may result in
permanent damage to the equipment.
MISE EN GARDE: Risque dégâts matériels. Ne pas
mettre le système sous tension avant d'avoir vérifié tous
les raccords de câblage. Des fils formant un court-circuit
ou connectés de façon incorrecte risquent
d'endommager irrémédiablement l'équipement.
Important: Power to the controller must be off when
installing or removing option cards or
damage will occur.
Important: Be careful to plug an option card into the
connector properly with its pins properly
aligned.
Option cards typically provide additional communication
capabilities, such as those listed in Table 2. For a list of
supported COM port and slot assignments for the option
cards, see Table 3.
