I/O Modules Chapter 8
This table demonstrates the performance factors of the 1756-CN2/B,
1756-CN2R/B, and 1756-CN2RXT modules when adding I/O online.
Because of the increased performance provided by the 1756-CN2, 1756-CN2R,
and 1756-CN2RXT modules, many of the considerations that must be made
with the 1756-CNB and 1756-CNBR modules are not applicable. With the
1756-CN2, 1756-CN2R, and 1756-CN2RXT modules, you can add I/O while
online as long as you use reasonable RPI settings and remain within the CPU
limitations of the ControlNet module.
When adding to the I/O Configuration with 1756-CN2, 1756-CN2R, and
1756-CN2RXT modules, make these considerations:
• Digital I/O modules can be added as rack-optimized connections if the
parent module is already configured with rack-optimized connections.
• Digital I/O modules can also be added as direct connections.

TIP
While you can add a new digital I/O module to an existing rack-optimized
connection, you cannot add rack-optimized connections while online.
