3.3 Multi-CPU Functions
Sub CPU Synchronization
3-97
• You can have one Sub CPU Unit on the Main Rack and a total of three Sub CPU Units on Expansion
Racks. You can therefore connect up to four Sub CPU Units in one system.
• The Optional Modules that are connected immediately to the right side of a CPU Unit are controlled by
that CPU Unit.
• You can use the CPU interface registers for that CPU Unit to exchange up to 2,048 words of data each
scan.
• You can completely synchronize the Main CPU Unit and Sub CPU Units. The following figure shows a
timing chart.
