Use I/O Modules with CompactLogix 5370 L3 Controllers
Chapter 9
Configure Distributed I/O
Modules on an EtherNet/IP
Network
Your CompactLogix 5370 L3 control system can use distributed I/O modules on
an EtherNet/IP network.
Complete these steps to configure distributed I/O modules on an
EtherNet/IP network.
1.
Right-click Ethernet and choose New Module.
2.
Select the desired Ethernet adapter and click Create.
The New Module dialog box appears.
IMPORTANT
When adding distributed I/O modules, remember to count the remote Ethernet
adapter to remain within the maximum number of EtherNet/IP network nodes
limitation for your controller.
The remote I/O modules that are connected to the controller via the Ethernet
adapter are not counted toward the maximum Ethernet node limit for the
controller.
For more information on node limitations, see
