Configure I/O Modules in
a Remote Chassis

There are separate communication modules available for different networks to
configure I/O modules in a remote chassis. The ControlNet and EtherNet/IP
communication modules must be configured in the local chassis and the
remote chassis to handle network protocol.

You can then add new I/O modules to the program via the communication
module.

Follow these steps to configure a communication module for the local chassis.
This module handles communication between the controller chassis and the
remote chassis.
