Remote I/O Addressing

3 posts in this topic

I have always setup all the Remote I/O with addressing sequentially along the physical "Blue Hose"....1,2,3,4, ect My customer needs additional racks installed, and I can't remember, the addressing will end up as 2,1,3,4... I shouldn't have a problem with this, right? I would change the program, but it is a full rack and many hours of program changes, with only 4 hours of scheduled production downtime until November. (original was on the second floor rack 1, new unit on the bottom floor , new on the third floor, and new on the fourth floor)

No problem. I have systems where the processor (PLC5) is in the middle( well not on the end).

Hush - Hush - Hush I've even seen RIO systems laid out in a Star that worked. Rockwell does not support or endorse this topology, but it can be made to work. Bunch of caveats though obviously. Hush - Hush - Hush
