Add the Logix Blocks

The Logix Block facilitates cascading control between a ControlLogix
environment and a fieldbus environment. The Logic Block takes signals
generated in either environment and sends them to the other.

You can use the Logix Block to send or receive 8 analog or 8 discrete signals per
Logix Block to or from a Logix controller. You can use up to 16 Logix Block
within a single linking device.

See

Logix Block Module Operation

in Chapter 6 for more information about

how the Logix Block module operates in a ControlLogix system.

Do these steps to add a Logix Block module to the linking device.
