master module shall use 1 high speed link and 1 P2P.
2.4.2.2 Block Type Remote I/O System
1) System Configuration
This system is configured by Profibus-DP, DeviceNet and Rnet and it is available to use block type
Remote I/O regardless of the series. Profibus-DP and DeviceNet were developed based on
International Standard which enables to connect with Smart-I/O of our company as well as the
product of other manufacturer.
• Master module is available to install up to max. 12 and also available in the expanded base.
2) I/O allocation method and I/O no. assignment

‘P’ area is recommended to use the forced ON/OFF function and initial reset function.
• Max. available point of I/O device (P area) is 32,768 point(P00000 ~P2047F).
• For the setting method of high speed link parameter per module, please refer to XG-PD manual.
