4.1 I/O Module Overview
The I/O modules typically consist of a terminal block for field wiring and
connectors to the backplane. The ROC827 base unit supports up to three
I/O modules. Each expandable backplane (EXP) can accommodate up to
six I/O modules, and a fully configured ROC827 can handle up to 27 I/O
modules (three on the base unit and six modules on each of up to four
expandable backplanes). Each I/O module electrically connects to field
wiring by a removable terminal block. Refer to Figures 4-1 and 4-2.
Note: Figure 4-2 represents a ROC827 with one EXP.
