Deported I/O? Do you mean remote I/O? If so I don't believe the SLC5/01 supports remote I/O. You will need at least a SLC5/02 to do so. See manual below http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/i...um011_-en-p.pdf

If your added I/O is the 1746 type and can be physically located very near the main rack which holds the 5/01, then you can extend the backplane with a cable for a total of up to thirty local slots.
