Configure I/O
FactoryTalk Linx
supports remote I/O (RIO), ControlNet I/O, and DeviceNet I/O configurations.In remote I/O (RIO), a physical rack is represented by words of data that directly reflect the state of the I/O modules in the rack.
In a ControlNet I/O configuration or a DeviceNet I/O configuration, a communications interface card is physically attached to the host computer upon which the
FactoryTalk Linx
is running. RSNetWorx™ for ControlNet
and RSNetWorx™ for DeviceNet
are used to configure their respective communications interface cards.
TIP:
FactoryTalk Linx
can also access data from a remote ControlNet device (such as a ControlLogix
controller via a 1756-CNB module). Use the RIO procedure to configure a remote ControlNet scanner.Refer to the section below for the steps to configure the proper I/O.
