SlotServer in Remote Allen Bradley Racks
Note that the SlotServer cannot be used as a bridging device between racks and as such is not a connectable
module in RSNetworx. However, the SlotServer may still be installed in a remote rack that has been connected to
the CPU rack via some other connectable module.

RSLogix configuration
In order to see the SlotServer from the CPU, the Hardware must be configured in RSLogix as follows:
Configure the cards in the local rack in the I/O Configuration section, including the CPU and the local CNB card.
Right click on the local CNB card and add the remote CNB card using the “New Module” function.
Right Click on the remote CNB card, and add the 1756 Backplane
Right Click on the 1756 Backplane and add the cards that are present in the remote rack, including the
SlotServer (As a generic I/O module-see earlier section on how to do this)
Save the RSLogix configuration, and download it to the PLC.

The principles for connecting other 1756 bridging cards to the SlotServer are similar.
