FLEX I/O is a small, modular I/O system for distributed
applications that performs all of the functions of rack-based I/O. The
FLEX I/O system contains the following components:
Adapter
Terminal Base
I/O Module
• PROFIBUS adapter/power supply – powers the internal logic for
as many as eight I/O modules
• terminal base – contains a terminal strip to terminate wiring for
two- or three-wire devices
• I/O module – contains the bus interface and circuitry needed to
perform specific functions related to your application
For information on how communication occurs over the FLEX I/O
system backplane, refer to Chapter 2.
