The Foxtrot basic module can be expanded in accordance with the requirements of the application to include several peripheral and special modules. Up to 10 peripheral modules can be connected to the TCL2 bus on the central module.
Furthermore, the CF-1141 (dual external CIB) master modules can be connected to the central module via the TCL2 bus, as well as other special modules - such as the ID-14 text panel, etc.
Each group of modules (i.e. the peripheral modules, master modules and special modules) has a dedicated separate address space, so their addresses cannot overlap (e.g. the IB-1301 peripheral module, the CF-1141 external master module and the ID-14 panel can have a set identical address 0).
The front panel features signal LED diodes and a rotary switch for setting the module address. Each peripheral module connected to the basic module must have a unique address (in the range from 0 to 9). The address can be adjusted with a screwdriver by turning the rotary element with the arrow against the required number.
