This chapter tells you how to use Control Expert to configure an M580 local rack that communicates with an S908 network via an X80 drop, which includes a 140CRA31908 adapter module.
An adapter is the target of real-time I/O data connection requests from scanners. It cannot send or receive real-time I/O data unless it is configured to do so by a scanner, and it does not store or originate the data communications parameters necessary to establish the connection. An adapter accepts explicit message requests (connected and unconnected) from other devices.
