2.5 Overview of the Tasks Required to
Configure and Run the Remote I/O
Scanner Interface
Developing a good system design is important to any control
system. See chapter 4, Designing Control Systems That Use the
AllenĆBradley Remote I/O Link" for information to consider while
designing a control system using AllenĆBradley remote I/O. Included
is some basic information about how AllenĆBradley I/O is segmented
into logical units, such as I/O racks and I/O groups. An I/O rack is
different than an I/O chassis. An I/O chassis is the physical housing
of the I/O modules; whereas, an I/O rack is an addressing unit that
equals 128 input bits and 128 output bits.
