The remote I/O modules allow the 9/Series control to appear as a remote
I/O rack to the I/O scanner of a PLC processor. There are two separate
remote I/O modules, one for 9/260 controls, and one for 9/290 controls.
9/230 and 9/440 controls, equipped with remote I/O, have the remote I/O
circuitry and connections mounted directly on the processor or wiring
board respectively. Though the remote I/O link performs the same
functions and is configured in the same manner for all the 9/Series
controls, the installation and appearance is significantly different between
processors.
Remote I/O is a feature of Allen-Bradley’s 1771 I/O and is beyond the
scope of any 9/Series documentation. For details on the operation,
configuration, and capabilities of a remote I/O device on the 1771 I/O
network refer to documentation that came with your 1771 I/O system.
This document only discusses what is necessary to install and troubleshoot
the 9/Series remote I/O modules.
Implementing Remote I/O on the 9/Series control
Important: PAL must set the $RMON flag TRUE, during the first
foreground execution, to enable the remote I/O connection. Also several
remote I/O operating parameters must be setup in AMP to configure the
remote I/O communications for your specific network. Refer to your
9/Series AMP and PAL reference manuals for details.
When remote I/O information is sent to the control, it is transmitted as
values from eight output words in the PLC processors output image table
