IMPORTANT You cannot use FLEX 5000™ I/O modules with all Logix 5000™ controllers.
For example, you can use FLEX 5000 I/O modules with CompactLogix™ 5380
and ControlLogix® 5580 controllers but not with CompactLogix 5370 and
ControlLogix 5570 controllers.
You can use FLEX 5000 I/O modules with Logix 5000 controllers as
remote I/O modules only.
Throughout this publication, the term Logix 5000 controller refers to the
controllers with which you can use FLEX 5000 I/O modules in a given
capacity. The term does not refer to all Logix 5000 controllers.
For the most current information on the Logix 5000 controllers with which
you can use FLEX 5000 I/O modules, see the product description
