(1) CompactLogix 5370 L2 controllers have an embedded power supply. Therefore, you do not need to consider power supply distance rating when installing the controller. The Compact I/O modules that
are used as local expansion modules in a CompactLogix 5370 L2 control systems operate on a CompactBus and do have a power supply distance rating you must consider when installing those modules.
For more information on power supply distance rating regarding using Compact I/O modules in a CompactLogix 5370 L2 control system, see page 147 and page 226.
(2) IMPORTANT: You can use up to the maximum number of 1734 POINT I/O modules with the CompactLogix 5370 L1 controllers that are listed in Table 1, as long as the total current drawn by the modules
does not exceed the available POINTBus backplane current of 1 A. If you must use more local expansion modules than the POINTBus backplane current supports, you can install a 1734-EP24DC POINT I/
O expansion power supply between local expansion modules to increase the POINTBus backplane power and meet your system requirements.
