Rack Components
Section 2-3
Rack Number Switch
Each Expansion I/O and Expansion CPU Rack is assigned a rack number from 1
through 7. Set the rack number on the rack number switch. Words are allocated
to Racks in order according to rack numbers, starting from the CPU Rack, which
is always rack number 0.
Set the rack number switch using a standard screwdriver. If a number other than
1
through 7 is assigned, or the same rack number is set to more than one Rack,
the PC will not operate
Note Turn OFF the power to the PC before setting the rack number switches.
Display
The display on the I/O Interface Unit is identical to that on the I/O Control Unit on
the CPU Rack. For details on the data displayed in each mode, refer to 2-3-2 I/O
Control Unit.
Peripheral Device
Connector
The I/O Interface Unit CV500-II201 for Expansion I/O Racks provides a connec-
tor for connecting a Peripheral Device. One Peripheral Device (CVSS or Pro-
gramming Console) can be connected per to the CPU or I/O Interface Units for
each PC, although additional Peripheral Devices can be connected to Slave
Racks if a SYSMAC BUS/2 System is used. Whether mounted to the CPU or an
I/O Interface Unit, the operation of the Peripheral Device is the same.
Note When connecting a Peripheral Device to the CPU or an I/O Interface Unit, set the
baud rate of the CPU to 50k bps via the CPU DIP switch.
2-3-4 Power Supply Units
The Power Supply Unit is available in three models. The CV500-PS221 and
CVM1-PA208 run on 100 to 120 AC or 200 to 240 VAC, and the CV500-PS21
runs on 24 VDC. Both Power Supply Units can be used with any CPU Rack, Ex

Note The total power consumed by each Rack must be within the values stated in the
table above. For example, do not mount Units with a total current consumption
greater than 12 A to a Rack supplied by a 12-A Power Supply Unit.
