Analog I/O Module Operation in a Logix5000
Control System
Logix5000™ controllers use the 5069 Compact I/O™ analog I/O modules to
control devices in a control system. The controllers access the modules over an
EtherNet/IP network.
Analog I/O modules convert analog signals to digital values for inputs and
convert digital values to analog signals for outputs. Controllers use these signals
for control purposes.
5069 Compact I/O analog I/O modules use removable terminal blocks (RTBs)
to connect field-side wiring. You use the Logix Designer application to configure
the modules.
5069 Compact I/O analog I/O modules use the Producer-Consumer network
communication model. This communication is an intelligent data exchange
between modules and other system devices in which each module produces data
without first being polled.
