Manage Controller Communication (connections) Chapter 7
Calculate Connection Use
The total connection requirements of a ControlLogix system include both local
and remote connections.
Local Connections
Local connections refer to connections used to communicate between modules
housed in the same ControlLogix chassis (that is, the local modules). Use this
table to calculate the number of local connections based on the configuration of
your local chassis.
