Interlocking and Data Transfer Between Controllers Chapter 7
The graphic below shows a Logix5000 controller producing a single tag for
consumption by another Logix5000 controller. In this example, the producing
controller uses 2 connections and every other Logix module/controller uses
only 1 connection.
Logix5000 Controllerin Local Chassis Producing a Single Tag for a Logix5000
Controller in a Remote Chassis
At its limits, a Logix5000 controller that produced 125 tags, each with only 1
consumer, the controller would use all of its available 250 connections. In this
example, the EtherNet modules used to communicate the tags would only use
125 connections. An example of the different
TCP and CIP connection capacities vary for all EtherNet/IP modules.
