1756-OF8I Communication Formats
The 1756-OF8I will support all of the following 6-channel modules and their
respective Communication Formats:
Configuration
When used in Emulation mode, all 8-channel modules will accept
configuration data in the 6-channel module style. Therefore, any way the
6-channel module configuration data is generated, the 8-channel module will
accept it. Whether all configuration is done on the module properties,
configuration tab, or via an HMI populating the configuration tags, no
changes are necessary.
Tag Structures
All configuration, input, and output tags will remain intact in their 6-channel
format. The 8-channel module will accept and/or report all data in the original
module format.
RSLogix 5000 Version
Support
When 8-channel modules are used in the I/O tree as an 8-channel module,
they are only supported in RSLogix 5000 software, V18 and later.
When an 8-channel module is used in 6-channel Emulation mode, it can be
used in any version of RSLogix 5000 software that supports the 6-channel
module you are emulating.
