Use I/O Modules with CompactLogix 5370 L3 Controllers Chapter 9
Configure Distributed I/O
Modules on an EtherNet/IP
Network
Your CompactLogix 5370 L3 control system can use distributed I/O modules on
an EtherNet/IP network.
Complete these steps to configure distributed I/O modules on an
EtherNet/IP network.
1. Right-click Ethernet and choose New Module.
2. Select the desired Ethernet adapter and click Create.
The New Module dialog box appears.
When adding distributed I/O modules, remember to count the remote Ethernet
adapter to remain within the maximum number of EtherNet/IP network nodes
limitation for your controller.
The remote I/O modules that are connected to the controller via the Ethernet
adapter are not counted toward the maximum Ethernet node limit for the
controller.
For more information on node limitations, see Nodes on an EtherNet/IP
Network on page 125.
