Rockwell Automation 1336-GM1 Remote I/O Communications Module - Manual (Page 12)

1–2 Overview
The 1203-GD1 and 1203-GK1 modules mount on a DIN rail. They
connect to a SCANport product using a SCANport cable and to the
Remote I/O link using a Remote I/O cable. The 1336-GM1 board
mounts directly onto selected SCANport products. It connects to a
SCANport product using an internal SCANport connector and to the
Remote I/O link using a Remote I/O cable.
Figure 1.2 shows how the modules connect SCANport products to the
Remote I/O link.

Features of the
Communications Module The 1203-GD1 module, 1203-GK1 module, and 1336-GM1 board let
you connect SCANport products to Remote I/O links and devices.
These modules feature the following:
• DIP switches let you configure how the Remote I/O module
operates before connecting it to the link.
• User-configurable fault action DIP switches let you customize the
module actions when communication errors occur.
• LEDs report link, module, and SCANport product health.
• Datalinks are supported in the module. Datalinks are a SCANport
mechanism for transferring information between a controller and
SCANport device. Each enabled datalink uses two words in the
I/O image table unless it is truncated.
