Power Supply Distance Rating
Modules are placed to the right of the power supply. Each
Serial Bus module can be placed in any of the slots to
the right of the power supply until the usable backplane
current of that supply has been exhausted. An adapter
provides 1 A current to the PointBus. The RPSSSE24A
provides up to 1.3 A and I/O modules require from 75 mA
(typical for the digital and analog I/O modules) up to 90
mA or more.

Step 5
Placing Serial Bus Modules
Determining Mounting Requirements
The producer / consumer model multicasts messages.
This means that multiple nodes can consume the
same data at the same time from a single device.
Where you place I/O modules in the control system
determines how the modules exchange data.
For a Rockwell controller to control Serial Bus, the I/O
must be:
• On the same network as the controller
or
• On a ControlNet™ network that is local to that
controller or
• On an EtherNet/IP™ network that is local to that
controller
