Unit Types and Configurations
There are two GM unit configurations: main unit and sub unit. A system consisting only of a main
unit is called a single unit system; a system consisting of a main unit and sub units is called a
multi unit system.
Main Unit
The main unit includes the data acquisition module.
Up to 10 input/output modules can be linked.
An expansion module (GX90EX) is linked to the left end when connecting to sub units.
In this case, the maximum number of input/output modules that can be linked is six.

Sub Unit
A sub unit is connected to the main unit. An expansion module (GX90EX) is linked to connect to
the main unit or other sub units with LAN cables. The maximum connection distance between
two units is 100 m. Only cascaded connection is allowed; ring connection is not allowed.
An expansion module is linked to the left of the power supply module, and input/output modules
are linked on the left side of the data acquisition module. Up to six input/output modules can be
linked.
