Connect additional SmartSlice I/O Units by aligning the sides of the Units and sliding in the next Unit
from the front. Up to 64 SmartSlice I/O Units can be connected to one EtherCAT Communication Unit.
Connecting Turnback Units
When a SmartSlice I/O System is divided into blocks, connect a GRT1-TBR Right Turnback Unit to
the right end of the first block. Connect a GRT1-TBL Left Turnback Unit to the left side of the
expansion block and connect additional SmartSlice I/O Units. Use a GCN2-100 Turnback Cable to
connect the Turnback Units together.
The Turnback Units can be used to divide a SmartSlice I/O System into up to three blocks.
