Chapter 11
Scan 1771 Remote I/O 
Adapters through a 
1756-DHRIO or 
1756-DHRIOXT Module in a 
Remote Chassis
In this application, a ControlLogix controller scans remote FLEX I/O modules 
through a 1756-DHRIO or 1756-DHRIOXT module in a remote chassis over a 
ControlNet network. The following figure illustrates the steps you follow to use 
this application.
Configure the 1756-DHRIO or 1756-DHRIOXT Module Switches
In this application, channel B on the 1756-DHRIO or 1756-DHRIOXT 
module must be set for RIO. Channel A can be used for remote I/O or DH+, 
regardless of the usage assigned to channel B.
Configure the switches on the 1756-CNB modules to the correct node addresses. 
The 1756-CNB module in system number 1 uses node address 01 and the 
1756-CNB module in system number 2 uses node address 23.
