I/O Bus Restrictions

The I/O bus imposes restrictions on the number of devices that can be connected to the bus and what type of devices that are allowed on certain positions.

The following restrictions apply to the I/O bus:

  • Position 1 reserved for a power supply

  • Position 2 reserved for an automation server

  • Maximum one automation server per I/O bus

  • Maximum 32 devices (positions) per I/O bus

Note:

Position 1 is not used when the automation server in position 2 is an AS-P-3 server as this type has a built-in power supply.

Note:

Even when connected by an S-cable, no more than 32 devices are allowed on the I/O bus.
