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.

ATTENTION: You must only use Series C and above POINT I/O modules
with 1734-AENTR EtherNet/IP Adapters. Series A or Series B POINT I/O
modules do not work with 1734-AENTR EtherNet/IP Adapters (does not
apply to POINTGuard modules).
