3SectionRepeater Units14
Repeater Unit RPT01-(P) must be used when the number of Optical Slave
Racks, Optical Transmitting I/O Units, I/O Link Units, and Link Adapters con-
nected
in series exceeds 32. Insert a Repeater Unit between the 32nd and 33rd
Units.
The example below shows an Optical
Slave Rack and Optical T
ransmit-
ting
I/O Units connected in series. Note that a Repeater Unit is inserted after the
total of these Units reaches 32. When I/O Link Units or Link Adapters
AL002-(P)E, AL005-(P)E or AL006-(P)E are used, each of them must also be
counted as one of the 32 Units.
