Limits on the Total Number of Input and Output Points for a Master Unit
A maximum of 1,024 inputs and outputs can be controlled by one Communi-
cations Unit (DRT1-COM). The number of I/O points for each node, however,
depends on the Master Unit. For example, with the CV-series Master Unit
(CVM1-DRM21-V1) or the C200HX/HG/HE and C200HS Master Unit
(C200HW-DRM21-V1), up to 512 inputs and up to 512 outputs can be used at
each node. Therefore, connect I/O Units within a range that does not exceed
the number of I/O points for each Master Unit node. The following table shows
the I/O size of each Unit.
The GT1-ROP08 (Relay Output Unit with Power Relay) has 8 actual outputs
but, as a MULTIPLE I/O TERMINAL, the number of outputs allocated to the
Master Unit is 16.
Calculation Example
When one GT1-DA04MX Analog Output Unit and three GT1-AD08 Analog
Input Units are used, the total number of input points and output points is cal-
culated as follows:
Total Number of Input Points:
Communications Unit (Status) + Analog Input Units x 3
= 32 points + 128 points x 3 = 416 points
Total Number of Output Points:
Analog Output Units x 1
= 64 points

TERMINAL, refer to SECTION 7 Troubleshooting and Maintenance. For infor-
mation on problems concerning the DeviceNet, refer to DeviceNet Operation
Manual (W267).
