How can you tell if a RIO system is maxed out on a plc 5?
What are the RIO limits?
I have 3 open slots in the main chassis and 1 RIO adapter going to 4 slc I/O chassis each of these slc chassis it the 13 slot and are fully loaded most with 16 point I/O
Can I have anything larger than 16 point I/O in the slc chassis 32 point on RIO?
The I/O in the slc chassis appears to be octal it is numbered 0-7 10-17 and has octal on the front of the module. Are these special I/O for RIO on slc? I do not see anything like that in the slc I/O manual. Is it some kind of conversion kit i.e. new led cover and sticker? I can’t get the part numbers off the modules because the line is running. Sure would be nice if the put the model # and firmware rev on the front.
Sorry for all these rambling questions I have been reading all the RIO manuals for plc 5 and slc I can find but none teach you the system in great detail. That is my opinion anyway. This RIO stuff is really kicking and stomping me.
