ControlLogix Chassis Requirements
The ControlLogix chassis is part of a modular system that you can create with the
FactoryTalk Historian ME, an Ethernet/IP communication module(s), and controller
module(s). Chassis are available with 4, 7, 10, 13, and 17 slots. You can place the
FactoryTalk Historian ME module into any slot. Slot 0 is the first slot and is always
the left-most slot in the rack (the first slot to the right of the power supply.)
The FactoryTalk Historian ME module communicates with the control processor(s)
in controller module(s) through the ControlLogix backplane (also known as the
ControlBus
). The backplane is an electrical interface, or bus, to which modules
connect when inserted into the rack. The backplane provides a high-speed
communication path between modules and distributes power to each of the modules
within the chassis. Controller modules on the backplane can send data to and receive
data from the module.
