Chapter 6 Configure Your Adapter and Digital Modules on a ControlNet Network
Add Distributed I/O
To communicate with the I/O modules in your system, you add bridge, adapter,
and I/O modules to the I/O Configuration folder of the controller. Within the
I/O Configuration folder, you organize the modules into a hierarchy
(tree/branch, parent/child).
Do these steps to add distributed I/O to your RSLogix 5000 project:
1. Add the local ControlNet communications modules, add the ControlNet
adapter for the distributed I/O.
2. Add the distributed I/O module.
