Comparison of AC500 terminal bases

With the latest Automation Builder version the following terminal bases are compatible with the AC500 processor modules:

Table 106: Terminal base compatibility

TB5620-2ETH	x	x	x	x	x	x
TB5640-2ETH		x	x	x	x	x
TB5660-2ETH			x	x		x

The number of slots that are available on a terminal base for connecting communication modules or AC500-S modules differs within the terminal base range.
