3.3.2 Dispersed installation
As shown in Figure 3-3, dispersed installation installs the LPU or CPU unit of a programmable
controller in one cubicle and the I/O units in another separate cubicle(s). This installation style
is used when the I/O units of a programmable controller need to be installed in a distant
location(s) from its CPU unit or LPU unit.
