Notes
(1) A maximum of 7 extension base units can be used.
(2) Do not use extension cable longer than 13.2 m (43.28 feet).
(3) When using an extension cable, it should not be connected to or allowed to come close to the main circuit (high voltage and large current).
(4) When setting the number of extension stages, set the number in ascending order to avoid setting the same number repeatedly.
(5) If Q5
B / Q6 B and QA1S6 B are to be mounted on the same extension base unit, be sure to connect Q5 B / Q6 B at first and then
QA1S6
B.
Make the setting of the number of levels of an extension base unit, starting with Q5
B / Q6 B in a descending order.
(6) Connect an extension cable between the OUT connector of an extension base unit and the IN connector of another extension base unit.
(7) An error may occur if more than 66 main base / extension base units are mounted.
(8) Refer to section 14.2 (1) for mounting motion CPUs.
(9) For the I/O number of multiple PLC systems other than above, see Section 15.1.1.
