What Are ControlLogix Digital I/O Modules?

Chapter 1

Module Identification and
Status Information

Each ControlLogix I/O module maintains specific identification information
that separates it from all other modules. This information assists you in tracking
all the components of your system.

For example, you can track module identification information to know which
modules are located in any ControlLogix chassis at any time. While retrieving
module identity, you can also retrieve module status.
