DL205 Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Can the DL205 expand beyond the local rack? |
| Answer | The D2-250-1 and D2-260 CPUs can be expanded using the D2-EM and D2-CM modules. See the DL205 User's Manual, Local Expansion I/O in Chapter 4 for details. Another method the I/O can be expanded is by adding remote I/O with the D2-240, D2-250, D2-250-1 and D2-260. The D2-240 uses the D2-RMSM (Remote Master) module. A total of 896 I/O points are available by using 2 Remote Master modules with 7 slave per module. The D2-250 and higher uses either the D2-RMSM module or the bottom port of the CPU. A total of 2048 I/O points are available using up to 7 Remote Master modules and the CPU port with 7 slaves per module and the CPU. The D2-230 can not be expanded beyond the local rack. |
