Chapter 2 Compact 5000 I/O Serial Module Operation in a Logix 5000 Control System
Ownership
Every I/O module in a Logix 5000 control system must be owned by a
controller, also known as the owner-controller. When the Compact 5000 I/O
modules are used in a Logix 5000 control system, the owner-controller
performs the following:
• Stores configuration data for every module that it owns.
• Can reside in a location that differs from the Compact 5000 I/O system.
• Sends the I/O module configuration data to define module behavior
and begin operation in the control system.
Each Compact 5000 I/O serial module must continuously maintain
communication with its owner-controller during normal operation.
Construct a System That Uses
a Compact 5000 I/O Serial
Module
Before you use your serial module, you must complete tasks based on the way
that you use the modules:
• Local I/O modules - Complete the following:
a. Install a controller that can use the serial modules local I/O modules.
b. Install the serial module to the right of the controller.
• Remote I/O modules - Complete the following:
a. Install an adapter that is compatible with remote
Compact 5000 I/O standard and/or safety modules via an
EtherNet/IP network.
b. Install the serial module to the right of the adapter.
c. Install an EtherNet/IP network.
d. Install the controller that accesses the serial modules via an EtherNet/
IP network.
