To control distributed I/O over a ControlNet network, you must do the
following:
• Add local and remote ControlNet communication modules to your
Logix Designer project.
When you create a new Logix Designer project with the CompactLogix
1769-L32C or 1769-L35CR controller, the Controller Organizer creates a
ControlNet port in the local chassis. In this case, you do not need to add a
separate local communication module.
• Add distributed I/O to your Logix Designer project.
• Schedule the ControlNet network via RSNetWorx for ControlNet
software.
• Use the I/O information in the Logix Designer application.
You can also validate connections to distributed I/O when controlling it over
a ControlNet network. This task is particularly useful when one or more of
the connections are not working but is not required, especially when all
connections appear to work normally.
