Restrictions

The maximum amount of expansion modules that can be used with the packaged
controllers is two. Within that limit, the number of expansion I/O modules that can
be attached to the packaged controller depends on the bus current draw of the
modules being attached.

Each packaged controller has a specified amount of available bus current as shown
in this table.

Packaged Controller Bus Current and Expansion Module Limits

Cat. No. Total Available 5V DC Bus Current

1769-L23E-QB1B 1 A (1000 mA)
1769-L23E-QBFC1B 450 mA
1769-L23-QBFC1B 800 mA

To determine the number of expansion I/O modules you can add, total the bus
current draw (maximum) of your planned expansion I/O modules and the end cap.
If your result is less than the packaged controller’s maximum available bus current,
you are within the expansion I/O limit of your packaged controller.
