Manage Controller Communication Chapter 7
Local Connections
Local connections refer to connections used to communicate between modules
that are housed in the same ControlLogix chassis (that is, the local modules). Use
Table 31 to calculate the number of local connections that are based on the
configuration of your local chassis.
Remote Connections
Use remote connections when the communication module is in a chassis that is
remote from the controller. The number of connections a communication
module supports determines how many remote connections the controller can
access through that module.
