Nodes on EtherNet/IP Network
When configuring your Compact GuardLogix 5370 controller system, you
must account for the number of Ethernet nodes that you include in the I/O
configuration section of your project. Compact GuardLogix 5370 controllers
have limits on the number of nodes they support in the I/O configuration
section.

IMPORTANT While Compact GuardLogix 5370 controllers offer the option of using
Ethernet node count to effectively design a control system, the controllers
do have connection limits on an EtherNet/IP network.
For more information on how to design EtherNet/IP network use in your
Compact GuardLogix 5370 controller system, see these resources:
