Notes on Setting the Terminator
•The last Slave Unit under each Remote I/O Master Unit must be set as the terminator.
•Always set a terminator even when only one unit is to be connected.
•If no terminator is set, the Remote I/O System fails to operate, and the PC also fails to
start operation even when the Master Unit enters run mode. In this case, the “END RS”
indicator (terminator checking) remains lit. The Programming Console also displays a
message indicating that CPU is on hold.
