4 PAMIO Components
4.1 Generality
4.1.1 General specifications
The Power Automation Modular Input Output (PAMIO) components
are extension modules that allow a Power Automation control unit
to add more PLC digital input/output, PLC and/or NC analog out-
puts, NC analog axes.
PAMIO components are not stand-alone components. They can
only be used in conjunction with a Power Automation control unit.
PAMIO boxes can be snapped onto DIN-rails and plugged side by
side, or connected through optional cables.
4.1.2 Maximum Number of PAMIO Modules
All the control units of Power Automation are able to control up to
31 I/O modules. The total number of 31 includes the axis and I/O
modules built in the control unit.
Build-In modules
– Power Automation control units are available
with build-in axes and I/O modules.
– Control units with analog axis interface have
one axis module built in.
– One or two I/O modules (depending) on control
unit model are built in every control unit.
Refer to the installation manual of your specific control unit to
check the number of built-in modules!
The Power Automation software attributes a fixed
number of 8 bytes to each module, without consid-
eration of how many bytes are effectively required
by each module.
The following formula applies for the calculation of the maximum
configuration of a PAMIO system rack:
