8. System Expansions
1. Not all of the 8 possible analog outputs on an existing MAO module have been assigned. The
number of free analog outputs is = the number of new analog outputs to be connected.
No additional modules are required. The additional analog outputs can be connected to the
existing MAT or MAT-TS module.
2. All of the existing MAO modules are assigned, or the number of free analog outputs is < the
number of new analog outputs to be connected. A sufficient number of free slots for additional
MAO modules are present in the existing racks.
In this case, additional MAO modules are required in correspondence with the number of new
analog outputs to be connected.
Attention: In the standard design with a MAT module plugged into the rack, 2 MAO
modules are required because of the fixed assignment of the inputs for each group
of 8 analog outputs. The modules must be plugged in next to each other (in adjacent
slots). The analog outputs are connected to the second module.
Additional MAT/MAT-TS/MUT modules are also required.
3. All of the existing MAO modules are full, or the number of free inputs is < the number of new
inputs to be connected.
No free slots for additional MAO modules are available in the existing
racks.
In this case, additional MAO modules are required, in correspondence with number of new
analog outputs to be connected.
Attention: In the standard design with a MAT module plugged into the rack, 2 MAO
modules are required because of the fixed assignment of the inputs for each group
of 8 analog outputs. The modules must be plugged in next to each other (in adjacent
slots). The analog outputs are connected to the second module.
Additional MAT/MAT-TS/MUT modules are also required.
One or more new racks and the necessary CAN bus connecting cables will also be needed.
Always turn off the voltage when connecting a new rack. After turning off the voltage supply,
mount and install the additional rack. The connection of the racks and the necessary configuration
changes (MIB module) are described in
sections 5.5 Systems with Several Racks and 5.3.1
Configure the MIB Module.
Take special care to choose the correct CAN bus baud rate and
CAN node no.
Note: Whenever you connect additional sensors, always make sure that the voltage
supply to the system is still adequate
(see section 5.11.1 Calculation of the Required
Power Supply). If necessary, install a voltage supply which meets the new
requirements.
