34 Configuring Modules for Communication on a Remote I/O Network
Add a 1756-DHRIO Module
The 1756-DHRIO module provides two configurable channels that can either
send and receive messages over DH+ or scan remote I/O devices. When a
channel is configured for remote I/O, the 1756-DHRIO module is designed to
function as a remote I/O scanner for a ControlLogix controller. I/O data is
exchanged between the 1756-DHRIO module and:
• remote adapters on the remote I/O link
• the ControlLogix controller
• remote block transfer modules
