6.3.1 Calculation of number of input/output points
To obtain the total number of input/output points, count the input/output points of input/output powered
extension units/blocks and the input/output occupied points of special function units/blocks.
The number of remote I/O points on CC-Link or AS-i master network must be excluded.
1 Total the number of input/output points on the main unit and the number of
those on the input/output powered extension units/blocks.
To obtain the total number of input/output points, count the input points (X000 and more) and output
points (Y000 and more) of the main unit and input/output powered extension units/blocks.
The number of input/output points of each type of device is shown on the list below.
→ The list of numbers of input/output points is shown in Section 6.8.
2 Count the input/output points of the remote I/O stations connected on FX2N-
64CL-M or FX
2N-16LNK-M network.
Add the number of remote I/O points to the number of input/output points from the main unit and
input/output powered extension units/blocks calculated in the above step.
→ For the method of calculating the number of remote I/O points, refer to the manual of each master.
3 Count the number of input/output occupied points of special function units/
blocks.
The number of occupied input/output points per unit is 8.
The number of occupied input/output points of each type of device can be obtained by the following
formula or from the list shown below.
→ For a list of occupied input/output points, refer to Section 6.8.
Observe the following instructions when using the following products.
•FX
2N-1RM(-SET)
Up to 3 units can be sequentially connected to the end of one system.
However, when three units are connected, they are counted as one unit, and the number of input/output
occupied points is 8.
•FX
2N-16CCL-M(CC-Link master)
This master cannot be used together with FX
2N-32ASI-M.
When more than one master station is connected, a remote I/O station cannot be connected to the 2nd and
following master stations.
•FX
2N-32ASI-M(AS-i master)
This master cannot be used together with FX
2N-16CCL-M.
Only one station can be used for the whole system.
