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.

A.
Add the local communication module (bridge).
B.
Add the remote adapter for the distributed I/O
chassis or DIN rail.
C.
Add the distributed I/O module.
…you build the I/O configuration in this order
