Universal Remote I/O The strength and versatility of the Universal Remote I/O network
comes from the breadth of products it supports. In addition to
1771 I/O, the Universal Remote I/O network supports many
Rockwell Automation and third-party devices.
Typical applications range from simple I/O links with controllers and
I/O, to links with a variety of other devices. You connect devices
through remote I/O adapter modules or built-in remote I/O adapters.
Using the Universal Remote I/O network instead of direct-wiring a
device over a long distance to a local I/O chassis helps reduce
installation, start-up, and maintenance costs by placing the I/O closer
to the sensors and actuators.
Some devices like PLC-5 support “Pass-Thru,” which lets you
configure devices on a Universal Remote I/O network from an
Ethernet, ControlNet or Data Highway Plus network.
