What is the maximum device capacity of the 4010ES and how does IDNet loop expansion work?
0
The Simplex 4010ES supports a maximum capacity of 998 addressable IDNet points (Page 1) [1].
The base system includes one IDNet+ channel on the Main System Supply that supports up to 250 addressable points (Page 3) [1].
IDNet loop expansion works through the following hardware:
-
IDNet 2+2 Modules: Adding a 4010-9929 module provides an additional 250-point capacity and four short-circuit isolating output loops (Page 3, 8) [1].
-
Card Address Limits: The system can accommodate up to 20 internal and external card addresses to reach its full point capacity (Page 10) [1].
-
Wiring Flexibility: Expanded loops support Class B or Class A operation and allow for shielded or unshielded, twisted or untwisted single-pair wiring (Page 1) [1].
