An Ethernet-based network within a remote I/O network that contains both remote I/O and distributed I/O devices. Devices connected on this network follow specific rules to allow remote I/O determinism.
isolated distributed I/O network
An Ethernet-based network containing distributed I/O devices that do not participate in an Ethernet remote I/O network.
independent distributed I/O network
An Ethernet-based network containing distributed I/O devices located on an existing distributed I/O network that participate in the control network only of an Ethernet remote I/O network.
extended distributed I/O network
An Ethernet-based network containing distributed I/O devices located on an existing distributed I/O network that participate in an Ethernet remote I/O network through use of an extended port on a control network head module.
