3 MODULARITY
Using the Extension BUS, ALPTEC controllers can be congured with an EXT extension module.
– To insert an extension module:
• Remove the power supply from the ALPTEC.
• Remove the protective cover from the Extension slot.
• Insert the module upper hook in the xing hole on top of the Extension slot.
• Pivot towards the bottom of the module body, inserting the connector on the BUS.
• Push until the bottom clip fully engages in its slot.
ALPTEC 3.2/5.2

ALPTEC 8.2
Using the extension modules, it is possible to increase the number of steps or communication interfaces.
– Possibility of inserting 1 EXT module for the ALPTEC 3.2/5.2 and 2 modules for the ALPTEC 8.2.
– When the ALPTEC is supplied with power, it automatically recognises the EXT module which has been tted.
– The extension modules provide additional resources which can be used by dedicated conguration menus.
– The conguration menus associated with the extensions are always accessible, even if the extension modules are not physically connected.
