Example 5
MC224 - 16 axis system with maximum I/O expansion
The example system illustrated below shows an MC224 controller with the maximum
possible I/O expansion. Applications for a system of this complexity might include
collating or packaging machinery where there are multiple operations performed on a
product and many I/O are used for sensors etc.
•16 Axes (Any type)
• 272 Channels of 24v I/O
- 8 in + 8 I/O on MC224, plus
- 256 I/O (16 * 16) on the 16 CAN-16 I/O modules
• 32 Analogue Input Channels (8 per module)
