Configuring Modules for Communication on a Remote I/O Network Chapter 4
Add a 1794 Remote Adapter
The following steps show you how to add a 1794-ASB module to your project
and set the configuration parameters.
1. Add the 1794-ASB adapter to the controller organizer.
2. Define configuration parameters for the 1794-ASB module.
A. From controller organizer, select the
channel that you are using for your
configuration then, right-click to display
the pull-down menu.
In this example, only channel B is connected to
remote I/O. You can connect both channels to
remote I/O simultaneously if necessary. If only
one channel is connected to remote I/O, we
recommend that you use channel B. If you
connect channel A to remote I/O, you cannot use
the programming terminal din connector on the
front of the 1756-DHRIO module.
B. Choose New Module.
C. Click the Communications group to
expand the tree and then, choose the
1794-ASB adapter from the list.
