Chapter 6 Communicate over Networks
Devices Included in the Node Count
Any devices that you add directly to the local Ethernet I/O configuration are
counted toward the node limitation of the controller. The following are
example devices that are added to the I/O configuration section in your project
and must be counted:
• Remote communication adapters
• I/O modules that are directly connected to the EtherNet/IP network,
for example the 1732E-IB16M12R ArmorBlock® EtherNet/IP module
• Motion devices, such as drives
• Remote controllers
• HMI devices that are included in the I/O configuration section, for
example, PanelViewâ„¢ Plus terminals
• Linking devices, such as the 1788-EN2DNR, Ethernet-to-DeviceNet
linking device or 1788-EN2DNROM, On-machine Ethernet-to-
DeviceNet linking device

IMPORTANT While CompactLogix 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
CompactLogix 5370 control system, see these resources:
