Hi everyone. I have an application where a 1756-DHRIO in a rack with an L61 processor controlling a system will talk to a 1756-RIO in a CLX chassis acting as a Remote I/O adapter. There is no processor in the remote rack. In the User Manual the only information about configuring the RIO is by installing the Add-On Profile and Configuration Tool and then adding and configuring the 1756-RIO via RSLogix 5000. Presumably when you download the project to the processor the configuration is pushed to the RIO module.
Here is my problem - there is no processor in the rack the RIO will be in. It is simply there to update I/O for the processor in the other rack (with the 1756-DHRIO) that controls it.
How do I configure a 1756-RIO with no processor? Place it in the rack with the processor to configure it, then move it to it's remote panel? Someone in my office was saying that it can be somehow configured in linx, but I don't see how you can configure it over a RIO link, especially when, well you know, it isn't configured with a baud rate, etc.
