40 Configuring Modules for Communication on a Remote I/O Network

Configure Digital Modules

Although not required, when the module is in the I/O configuration, you gain
these advantages:

• It is easier to complete the communication path to the module.
• The I/O configuration provides documentation about the module.

For example, once you add an I/O module to the controller organizer window
you can use the Browse button on the Communication Tab to select the path
for the block transfer message.

1. Add a block transfer module to your project configuration...

You can browse to a
module in the I/O tree.

A. In the controller organizer, right-click

on the adapter module and then, select
New Module from the pull-down
menu.

B. Depending on the type of Block I/O

module you are using, expand the
Analog or Digital list by clicking on
the + sign to the left of the group.

C. Right-click on RIO-MODULE to

highlight.

D. Click OK.
