Configure Distributed I/O
on ControlNet To communicate with distributed I/O modules over ControlNet, you:
• install a 1788-CNx communication card in your FlexLogix
controller and add the card to the I/O configuration folder
• add a ControlNet 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).
