4.3 Output Connection Example
Connecting an MC100-0808ERN to an MC100-1614BRA is
shown in Figure 4-1. Different output groups can be
connected to different signal voltage circuits. For example,
output group Y0-COM0 can be connected to the 24Vdc circuit,
powered by the local 24V/COM; Y1-COM1, to the 5Vdc circuit;
others, like Y2 ~ Y7, to the 220Vac circuit. That is, different
output groups can work at circuits of different voltages.

5 Extension Connection
5.1 Extension Bus Connection
Before power-on, remove the cover of the extension port at
the right of the basic module. Insert the bus plug into the
extension port. If there are more than one extension modules,
connect them one by one. Note that the extension port cover
is detachable. Do not have it lost.

5.2 Extension Module Addressing
MC100 series PLC can identify the connected extension
module and address them by connection order automatically.
The extension module address is set upon the first power on
and remains unchanged. Therefore do not insert or remove
the extension module during operation, otherwise
abnormalities may occur, or PLC may be damaged.
The addresses of I/O channels are in the octal system,
numbered as 0, 1,…… 7, 10, 11 and so on, without numbers
8 and 9.
The input terminals of all modules (basic and extension) are
numbered as X0, X1, X2, …X7, X10, X11 and so on, while
the output terminals are numbered as Y0, Y1, Y2, …Y7, Y10,
Y11 and so on. Every eight channels form one group. If the
remaining channels are less than 8, the unused numbers will
be left unassigned.
For example, in module MC100-1410BRA, its 14 input
channels are numbered asX0 ~ X15, there will be no
channels numbered as X16 or X17, because the input
channels of the next extension module will start from X20.
Likewise, if the module has 10 output channels that are
numbered as Y0 ~ Y11, there will be no channels numbered
as Y12 ~ Y17, because the output channels of the next
extension module will start from Y20.
The extension modules’ I/O channels are numbered in
accordance with the module’s connection order. See the
following for a numbering example.
EC10-1410BRA EC10- 0808ETN EC 10 -0008 ERN EC10-0800ENN EC10-0008ETN
X0~ X 15
Y0~Y 11
X20~ X 27
Y20~Y 27 Y30 ~ Y37
X 30~X 47
Y 40~ Y47
6 Installation
6.1 Sizes
There are five I/O extension module models:
MC100-0800ENN, MC100-0808ERN, MC100-0808ETN,
MC100-0008ERN and MC100-0008ETN. Their sizes and
installation holes are shown in Figure 6-1.

6.2 Installation Method
The installation method of extension module is the same as
that of the basic module. See MC100 PLC User Manual for
details. See Figure 6-2 for the installation diagram.
