7.1.2
Random module arrangement
The arrangement of the I/O modules within a XI/ON station can basically be chosen at will.
Nevertheless, it can be useful with some applications to group certain modules together.
Note
A mixed usage of XNE ECO or XN standard gateways and XNE ECO and XN standard
I/O-modules (base modules with tension clamp terminals) is possible without any
problems.
Note
The mixed usage of base modules with screw connections and base modules with
tension clamp connections requires a further power supply module to be mounted.
Thereby, it must be ensured that the base modules are fitted with the same connec-
tion technology (screw or tension clamp) as the power supply module.
