Expansion Modules
Expansion Modules can be used to extend a VersaMax PLC or I/O station to include up to seven
additional groups of up to eight modules each, providing the architectural flexibility to
accommodate larger applications.

Remote I/O Units
A Remote I/O Unit connects VersaMax I/O modules to a host PLC or computer via a variety of
networks. This makes it easy to include VersaMax I/O in the innovative PROFINET interface, as well
as Genius, PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet, or other Ethernet installations. Together, the Remote I/O Unit
and its modules form an I/O station capable of providing up to 256 points of I/O.
