2 MULTIPLE CPU SYSTEM
2.1.2 Installation of PLC CPU and Motion CPU
Up to a total four PLC CPUs and Motion CPUs can be installed in the CPU base unit,
in the four slots starting from the CPU slot (the slot located to the immediate right of the
power supply module) to slot 2 in series.
There must be no non-installation slot left, between a PLC CPU and a Motion CPU, or
between Motion CPUs.
When two or more Motion CPUs are installed, they are installed together in the slots
provided to the right of one or more PLC CPUs. (PLC CPU cannot be installed to the
right of a Motion CPU.)
