Configure Distributed I/O
on EtherNet/IP To communicate with distributed I/O modules over EtherNet/IP, you:
• install a 1788-ENBT communication card in your FlexLogix
controller and add the card to the I/O configuration folder
• add an EtherNet/IP adapter, and I/O modules to the I/O
Configuration folder of the controller.
Within the I/O Configuration folder, you organize the modules
into a hierarchy (tree/branch, parent/child).
