Rockwell Automation Allen-Bradley FLEX 5000 User Manual

Chapter 1 Digital I/O Module Operation in a Logix 5000 Control System
Logix 5000 controllers use FLEX 5000 standard and safety I/O modules to
control devices in a control system. The controllers access the modules over an
EtherNet/IP™ network. FLEX 5000 I/O modules use terminal base (TB)
assemblies to connect field-side wiring.
FLEX 5000 I/O modules use the Producer/Consumer network communication
model. This communication is an intelligent data exchange between modules and
other system devices in which each module produces data without first being
polled.
You use FLEX 5000 I/O modules as remote I/O modules that are accessible via
an EtherNet/IP network. The modules are installed to the right of a FLEX 5000
EtherNet/IP adapter.
Logix 5000 controllers can exchange data with the modules over the network.
Figure 1
shows a standard controller with standard I/O modules. Standard
controllers do not support safety I/O modules.
