Estimating the Number of Remote Drops for a Bus

The number of remote drops that can be installed on a bus depends on the baud rate and the total number of I/O points in the remote drops. Only twenty fully±loaded remote drops are supported on a single bus that operates at 153.6 Kbaud (see chapter 1). If remote drops are not fully±loaded, more may be used. The table below will help you roughly estimate how many remote drops (and data bytes) can be on a bus with one Bus Controller, one Genius Hand±held Monitor, no datagrams or Global Data communications, and no Genius I/O blocks. The Genius I/O System User's Manual explains how to calculate the bus scan time for a specific bus.
