In this chapter, we will look at the available modules for the Logix platform, as well as how to configure and use them in a Logix project. We will also include methods for identifying module features by their Logix module and catalog numbers, and introduce the address tree that a typical I/O module creates. After completing this chapter, you will be able to select and add I/O modules to your projects, modify the module configurations, and reference their real-time values using the recommended best practices.
