xP Expansion Point Assignments Mechanical

xP Expansion Module points add to the existing points within the controller.
The point assignment in the first xP module connected to a controller will be
one more than the highest point number that exists in the controller.
xP Expansion Module Reference for UL 864 30-3001-1010 Rev A

Subsequent Expansion modules plugged into other expansion modules assume

point assignments that are one higher than the previous module.

Expansion I/O Module Features

MODULE POINTS Relay Output Module Output Override Control
OUTPUTS INPUTS
Digital Universal Digital NC OFF The output relay is de-energized to an ‘OFF’
state manually by setting the switch to OFF.
Digital Output Only: Programs have no effect on the output when
the switch is in this position.

xPDO4-S 4 C
AUTO The action of the output relay is determined as
OFF AUTO ON
a direct result of program control.
Universal Input Only: ON The output relay is energized to an ‘ON’ state
manually by setting the switch to ON. Programs

Basic Expansion Limitations xPDI8-S xPUI4-S

The number of expansion modules is limited by the controller firmware and the capacity
of the power supply current available from the controller. The firmware supports a maximum
of two modules as long as the power consumption does not draw more current than the
controller can supply.
Digital Input Module Universal Input Module
