Digital Module Operation in a Control System   Chapter 1
Remote I/O Modules
When Compact 5000 I/O digital modules reside in a separate location from 
Logix 5000 controllers, they are remote I/O modules. Remote Compact 5000 
I/O digital modules are accessible over an EtherNet/IP™ network via a 
Compact 5000 I/O EtherNet/IP adapter.
The modules are installed to the right of the adapter and exchange data across 
the remote system backplane. The data is then exchanged with the controller 
over the EtherNet/IP network.
Figure 3 shows remote Compact 5000 I/O standard modules in an example 
CompactLogix 5380 control system.

Control Applications 
IMPORTANT Remember, some restrictions apply when you use the I/O modules remotely. 
For example, you can use Compact 5000 I/O safety modules as remote I/O 
modules only in Compact GuardLogix 5380 or GuardLogix 5380 control 
systems.
