I/O Modules
You can use Compact 5000 I/O modules as local or remote
I/O modules, with some restrictions that are based on the module and controller
type. Compatibility requirements apply and are described in
Software Compatibility on page 10
.
Local I/O Modules
When Compact 5000 I/O Serial module resides in the same system as the
controller, it is a local I/O module. Local I/O modules are installed to the right of
the controller and exchange data with the controller over the system backplane.
