Installing Block I/O
In this chapter, you will learn how to mount the block, connect the remote
I/O link, connect the input and output wiring to the block, and terminate
the remote I/O link.
Before installation, you must determine the:
scanner/processor to use
number of blocks on your network
throughput
requirements
total distance of the installation
transmission rate desired
external fuses required (if any)
Acceptable combinations are shown in Table 2.A.
