    Chapter 1 Communicate with I/O Modules Requested Packet Interval The Logix5000 controller uses connections to transmit I/O data. Term Definition Connection A communication link between two devices, such as between a controller and an I/O module, PanelView terminal, or another controller. Connections are allocations of resources that provide more reliable communications between devices than unconnected messages.

  • Page 11: Direct Or Rack-Optimized Connection

    Communicate with I/O Modules Chapter 1 Direct or Rack-Optimized Connection The Logix5000 controller uses connections to transmit I/O data. These connections can be direct connections or rack-optimized connections. Term Definition Direct connection A direct connection is a real-time, data transfer link between the controller and an I/O module. The controller maintains and monitors the connection with the I/O module.
  • Page 12 Chapter 1 Communicate with I/O Modules When you choose a communication format, you have to choose whether to establish an owner or listen-only relationship with the module. Owner controller The controller that creates the primary configuration and communication connection to a module. The owner controller writes configuration data and can establish a connection to the module.

    Chapter 1 Communicate with I/O Modules Buffer I/O Buffering is a technique that logic does not directly reference or manipulate the tags of real I/O devices. Instead, the logic uses a copy of the I/O data. Buffer I/O in the following situations: To prevent an input or output value from changing during the execution of a program.

EXAMPLE Buffer I/O Local:0:I.Data stores the input data for the DeviceNet network that is connected to the 1756-DNB module in slot 0. To synchronize the inputs with the application, the CPS instruction copies the input data to input_buffer.
