Configuring Distributed I/O

To Add Distributed I/O Build the I/O Configuration in this Order
1.
The DriveLogix5730 controller supports distributed I/O over a ControlNet
link. Configuring I/O in a remote chassis is similar to configuring local I/O.
You create the remote communication module and distributed I/O modules
on the local ControlNet daughtercard.
To communicate with distributed I/O modules, you add a remote adapter
and I/O modules to the I/O Configuration folder of the controller.
Add the remote adapter to the
ControlNet daughtercard of the
controller.
2. Add the I/O modules to the remote
adapter.
