The 2EX302.6 is a 2010 Expand Slave module that segments I/O buses, allowing up to 99 I/O modules to be addressed from one CPU. C-UL-US listed, it splits the I/O bus into sections with a maximum of 10 segments, each containing an expansion master. It operates with BP202 base plates, requiring an Expansion Master on each bus segment. Addressing is done via a BCD dial in tens, with start addresses ending in zero. The module ensures efficient space usage and clear system configuration.

Product Description:

The 2EX302.6 is a 2010 Expand Slave module that segments I/O buses to allow for the addressing of up to 99 I/O modules from one CPU; otherwise, having more than 20 I/O modules in a row would have made them go beyond four meters since this is the length of the I/O bus. An expansion master and an expansion slave are used in dividing the I/O bus into sections or parts, which means that there can be ten bus segments at most, with each segment containing an expansion master. This way saves space and makes sense of things configuration-wise so that all these aforementioned may be achieved as stated by Planning and Installation under System Configuration and Power Supply within it.

To split an IOB into smaller pieces, it is required to operate any Expansion Master on those levels where bus segments are located numbered one or two, while every Bus Segment should have its leftmost slot occupied by an Expansion Slave plus BP202 base plate. Addressing this will be done through BCD number dialed in tens, twenty, thirty etc., but care must be taken so that they do not overlap themselves when being addressed; seven-segment display shows the start address for such bus segments always ending with zero.

Connecting expansion master modules together along with their respective expansion slaves placed module address setting power supply connections made between them as well as placing power supply modules onto these bus segments can all be found out from Planning And Installation part under System Configuration And Power Supply chapter.

Frequently Asked Questions about 2EX302.6:

Q: What is the primary function of the 2EX301.5 Expand Slave Module?

A: The 2EX301.5 Expand Slave Module segments I/O buses, allowing the addressing of up to 99 I/O modules from a single CPU. This is crucial for managing I/O modules efficiently, especially when more than 20 modules would otherwise extend beyond the 4-meter limit of an I/O bus.

Q: How does the 2EX301.5 module contribute to I/O bus segmentation?

A: The module works in conjunction with an expansion master to divide the I/O bus into sections. Up to ten bus segments can be created, each containing an expansion master, optimizing space and configuration within the system.

Q: What are the addressing requirements for the 2EX301.5 Expand Slave Module?

A: Addressing is done through a BCD number dialed in tens (e.g., 10, 20, 30). Each bus segment's start address, which is shown on a seven-segment display, always ends in zero. It is crucial to ensure that addresses do not overlap.

Q: What are the installation requirements for the 2EX301.5 module?

A: Each bus segment must have its leftmost slot occupied by an Expansion Slave module and a BP202 base plate. Expansion masters must be operated on levels where bus segments are located, specifically numbered one or two.

Q: Where can detailed installation instructions for the 2EX301.5 be found?

A: Detailed instructions for connecting expansion master modules, setting module addresses, making power supply connections, and placing power supply modules can be found in the "Planning and Installation" section under "System Configuration and Power Supply" in the device's documentation.
