2.8 Extending the Range of Digital Inputs/Outputs
For the MELSEC FX family of PLCs several ways and means are available to provide a base unit
with additional inputs and outputs.
2.8.1 Extension Boards
쎲
: The extension board can be used with a base unit of this series.
쑗
: The extension board cannot be used with this series.
2.8.2 Compact Extension Units
Compact Extension Units of the FX0N Series
쎲
: The extension unit can be used with a base unit of this series.
쑗
: The extension unit cannot be used with this series.

For a small number of I/O (2 to 4) an exten
-
sion adapter board can be installed directly in
aFX
1S or FX1N base unit. Extension boards
therefore do not require any additional instal
-
lation space.
The state of the additional input and outputs
is reflected in special relays in the PLC (see
section A.1.5). In the program these relays
are used instead of X and Y devices.

The powered compact input/output extension
units have their own power supply. The inte-
grated service power supply (24 V DC) of AC
powered extension units can be used for the
supply of external devices.
It is possible to choose between relay and
transistor (source) output type.
