(3) I/O numbers of an extension base unit
Connect an extension base unit when the number of slots of the main base unit
is insufficient.
The I/O numbers are assigned as follows in the initial setting.
This configuration applies to both I/O modules and intelligent function modules.

(Note)
Parameters allow the setting different from the
actual number of slots.
For example, a base unit for 12 slots can be set as
a base unit for 3 slots and vice versa.
This is in order to handle the future extension, and
to prevent the gap of I/O numbers which is likely to
happen when a conventional system is shifted to the
new one.
For details, refer to the QnUCPU User's Manual
(Function Explanation, Program Fundamentals).

• The slots of the extension base unit are also assigned in ascending order in 16-point unit.
• The start I/O number of the extension base unit is assigned from the last number of the main base unit or of the
previous extension base unit.
• Setting "0" to the parameter can assign the I/O number to the vacant slot or areas with no slot.
The following table shows the number of available extension base units.
