PfofiBus Gateway
Next, the relationship of the number of positions supported by each controller under each PIO pattern, and
the maximum number of positions that can be stored in the gateway unit, is explained. Take note that the
number of positions may become subject to restrictions.

*1 In the operation mode based on position number specification, the number of positions is limited
according to the selected PIO pattern (parameter No. 25). (The gateway can handle more positions.)
*2 Since the gateway can handle 64 positions, the number of controller positions is limited.
*3 In the case of a positioner operation axes operating in the command specification mode, the PIO
pattern selection parameter of the controller must correspond to the I/O pattern set by gateway
control signals PPS0 to PPS2. The numbers of positions shown in parentheses ( ) indicate values set
by PPS0 to PPS2.
