 C = configuration, I = input, O = output

Use the controller tags in your ladder program to read input data or write output
data.
 Slot Status Bits: The Slot Status bits display the connection status for each of

the POINT I/O modules that use a rack-optimized connection.

 Bit 0 is reserved for the adapter and always reports a value of 1.
 Each of the other bits (1 to 63) correspond to a POINT I/O module that you

install in the POINT I/O backplane.

 In this example, we configured the ILX34-AENWG adapter for both rack-

optimized and direct connections.

 The slot status bits indicate that the module in slot 2 is operating correctly:

o

0=module participating with no errors and

o

1=module not participating or connection error (typically, module
removed/missing)

Example 2 - Direct Connection

In this example, a ControlLogix controller communicates with POINT I/O modules
via the ILX34-AENWG adapter using a direct connection.

The adapter makes a direct connection to each of the modules referenced by the
data.

Attention: You must use series C POINT I/O modules with the ILX34-AENWG adapter. Series A

or B POINT I/O modules will not work with this adapter.
