The piconet gateway has two fiber-optic connectors to add modules and increase the number of I/O points on a single node. A new extension module is also available to provide an additional eight inputs and outputs, and the module’s terminal strips feature cage clamp technology for simple mounting inside a panel. Up to 255 extension modules may be connected to each gateway.
