IMPORTANT In these examples, only channel B is configured as a remote I/O scanner.
You can configure the channels as remote I/O scanners simultaneously if
necessary.
If only one channel is configured as a remote I/O scanner, we recommend
you use channel B. If you configure channel A as a remote I/O scanner, you
cannot use the programming terminal on the front of the 1756-DHRIO and
1756-DHRIOXT modules for DH+ access.
Also, throughout this chapter, we show sample configuration dialog boxes
with each example. Configuration information is dependent on your
application needs.
