EXPANSION MODULE
General Description
The expansion module provides an interface from the CPU module (either directly or via the
expansion LAN switch) on the ACE3600 main frame to the I/O modules on the expansion
frame. This enables the CPU on the main frame to control the I/O modules on the expansion
frame and process the gathered data.
This module is installed in the I/O expansion frame in the second slot from the left and is
connected via dedicated LAN to the RTU’s main frame.
Figure 17-1 provides a general view of the ACE3600 expansion module.
