Configuring Modules for Communication on a Remote I/O Network
Configure Digital Modules
Although not required, when the module is in the I/O configuration, you gain
these advantages:
• It is easier to complete the communication path to the module.
• The I/O configuration provides documentation about the module.
For example, once you add an I/O module to the controller organizer window
you can use the Browse button on the Communication Tab to select the path for
the block transfer message.
