Add to the I/O Configuration While Online

You can add I/O and other devices to the controller configuration while you are online, and the keyswitch is in either the REM or PROG positions.
IMPORTANT:
To add I/O modules when the controller is online, the controller keyswitch must be in the REM or PROG position. The I/O modules must already be installed in the system. You cannot install the I/O modules when the system is powered.
The modules and devices you can add while online depends on the version of the software you are using. Later versions have more modules and devices that can be added while online.
Add-on Profiles (AOP) for modules are made available between releases of different Logix Designer application versions. There are cases in which, after you download and install the AOP file for a module, you can add the module to a project while online.
You can add modules and devices to the local or remote chassis via an
EtherNet/IP™
 network, or via the unscheduled portion of a
ControlNet®
 network.
For information on the number of nodes you can have for an
EtherNet/IP™
 network, see Manage Controller Communication.
For more information about adding to the I/O Configuration while online, see the Logix 5000 Controllers Design Considerations Reference Manual, publication 1756-RM094.
