The IM 460-1 transfers both the C-bus and 5V power to the expansion rack, which can power some low-current modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many expansion racks can I connect?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA\u0026gt; You can connect up to 4 expansion racks with a total of up to 21 additional I\/O modules, depending on your CPU model and configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the expansion rack need its own CPU?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA\u0026gt; No. The expansion rack is controlled by the CPU in the central rack. The interface modules make the I\/O in the expansion rack appear local to the main CPU.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What cable do I need to connect the racks?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA\u0026gt; You need a specific interface cable, such as the 6ES7468-1... series. The length must not exceed the 5-meter maximum specified for reliable communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I mix different interface module types in one system?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA\u0026gt; No. The Send and Receive module pair must be of the same type (e.g., IM 460-0 with IM 461-0). They form a matched pair for a specific connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e© 2025 Ubest Automation Limited.
