Chapter 1      Digital Module Operation in a Control System
Configure the Modules
You must create a Logix Designer application project for the controller that 
owns the Compact 5000 I/O digital modules. The project includes module 
configuration data for the module.
The Logix Designer application transfers the project to the owner-controller 
during the program download. Data is then transferred to the I/O modules 
either across the backplane or over an EtherNet/IP network.
The I/O modules can operate immediately after receiving the 
configuration data.
Connections with Compact 5000 I/O Digital Modules
During module configuration, you must define the module. Among the 
Module Definition parameters with Compact 5000 I/O digital modules, you 
must choose a connection type for the module. A connection is a real-time data 
transfer link between the owner-controller and the module that occupies the 
slot that the configuration references.
When you download module configuration to a controller, the controller 
attempts to establish a connection to each module in the configuration.
