1756-DHRIO/E routes ControlLogix traffic to DH+ and Remote I/O networks through documented channels.
System role and channels
Rebuilt from individual evidence
Unknown: verification boundary
Rockwell Automation identifies 1756-DHRIO/E as a ControlLogix DH+ and Remote I/O communication module. Technical data documents two channels and Remote I/O scanner operation.
The module routes ControlLogix traffic at the chassis boundary to DH+ and Remote I/O networks; documented rates are 57.6, 115.2 or 230.4 Kbps.
Unknown: network topology, firmware state and condition of an individual 1756-DHRIO/E unit.
