About RSNetWorx and
RSLogix
RSNetWorx is a software tool used in conjunction with RSLogix to
configure your FLEX I/O DeviceNet or ControlNetadapter and its
related modules. This software tool can be connected to the adapter
via the DeviceNet network. The Ethernet IP adapter only requires
RSLogix to configure the modules.
Polled I/O Structure
Output data is received by the adapter in the order of the installed I/O
modules. The Output data for Slot 0 is received first, followed by the
Output data for Slot 1, and so on up to slot 7.
The first word of input data sent by the adapter is the Adapter Status
Word. This is followed by the input data from each slot, in the order
of installed I/O modules. The Input data from Slot 0 is first after the
status word, followed by Input data from Slot 2, and so on to slot 7.
