Configure Distributed I/O on
a ControlNet Network
To communicate with distributed I/O modules over a ControlNet network:
• choose a 1769-L32C or 1769-L35CR CompactLogix controller with a
built-in ControlNet communication port.
• add a ControlNet adapter, and I/O modules to the I/O Configuration
folder of the controller.
Within the I/O Configuration folder, organize the modules into a
hierarchy of tree/branch and parent/child.
