X represents the amount of NB series products, and y represents the amount of PLC. The
relationship between x and y must meet the following conditions:
• x ≥ 1
• y ≥ 1
• x + y ≤ 33
In this system architecture, the system has only one network number. And the unique ID, i.e. Node
ID, is assigned to both NB and PLC in the system.
When the actual amount of configured devices (NB series products + PLC) is greater than 33, the
customer can create a new NB-Designer project to handle this problem.
Recommended Network Configuration Devices
The following products are recommended for configuring the network when an Ethernet Unit is used.
