No, my programming is originating from a 1756-EN2TR which I see that might being causing it as the knowledge base you pointed out describes. I am not going to be using the DH+ but the RIO will connect to a 1794-ASB flex io adapter.
Since I do not have the option for unicast for my RIO adapter (1794-ASB) in my IO tree is an additional Ethernet/IP module my only option? There is also a Devicenet module (unconnected to a network an will not be used) on the chassis as well could that be used to handle the excess IO? or am i miss understanding the problem?
