EXPANSION MODULE

General Description

The expansion module provides an interface from the CPU module (either directly or via the
expansion LAN switch) on the ACE3600 main frame to the I/O modules on the expansion
frame. This enables the CPU on the main frame to control the I/O modules on the expansion
frame and process the gathered data.
This module is installed in the I/O expansion frame in the second slot from the left and is
connected via dedicated LAN to the RTU's main frame.
Figure 17-1 provides a general view of the ACE3600 expansion module.
The front panel includes status LEDs, expansion address LEDs, communication port LEDs,
two pushbuttons, communication ports and rotary switch. The panel is covered by the module
door.
