3.5.1 Maximum number of connections to IO controllers
Denition
A maximum of 4 IO controllers are allowed to be connected to the IO device.
3.5.2 Maximum permissible bytes
Denition
The maximum bytes in the input data area or for bytes in the output data area depend on the
following:
• Connection type
• Number of IO controllers with connection to the shared device
• Conguration in Run
Description

bytes in the output data area:
Connection type Number of IO controllers with
connection to the shared de‐
vice
Requirement for the input data or out‐
put data
