66 Configure Your Adapter and Digital Modules on a ControlNet Network
Add Distributed I/O
To communicate with the I/O modules in your system, you add bridge,
adapter, and I/O modules to the I/O Configuration folder of the controller.
Within the I/O Configuration folder, you organize the modules into a
hierarchy (tree/branch, parent/child).
Do these steps to add distributed I/O to your RSLogix 5000 project:
1. Add the local ControlNet communications modules, add the
ControlNet adapter for the distributed I/O.
2. Add the distributed I/O module.
