2.4 Planning an application
The following aspects should be considered when planning PCD3 applica-
tions:
- The internal load current taken by the I/O modules from the +5V and +V supply

LIOs (PCD3.C200)
- TheCPUorRIOtypespeciesthemaximumnumberofmodulecarriersand

- Inkeepingwithleanautomation,itisrecommendedtoleavetherstslotinthe
CPU basic module free for any subsequent expansions. Both simple I/O mod-
ules and communication modules can be used in this slot.
- The total length of the I/O bus is limited to 15 LIO modules by technical factors;
the shorter, the better.
The PCD3.C200 is used to extend the I/O bus or for the internal power sup-
ply (+5V and +V (24V)) to a module segment.
Please note the following rules:
