Types of Modules

The types of Adapters are as follows.

Hardware/Software
Compatibility

The I/O adapters and the applications described in this manual are compatible
with the following firmware revisions and

software releases.

Contact Rockwell Automation if you need software or firmware upgrades to use
this equipment

Important Adapter
Considerations

Before you begin using your adapter, note the following important
considerations.

Set the

Chassis Size

The I/O adapters for EtherNet/IP require configuration of their

chassis size

before you can make any I/O connections. The factory default setting for the
chassis size is one slot, which represents the adapter by itself.

You must set the chassis size to a number equaling one slot for the adapter plus
one slot for each I/O module present in the backplane of the adapter.

For example, a POINT I/O system consisting of a 1734-AENTR adapter, one
1734-IB8, one 1734-OB8, and one 1734-OB8S POINT Guard I/O module uses
a chassis size of 4. The adapter stores this chassis size setting in non-volatile
memory.
