Question

Must the HI 1756WS module be in the local rack (with the CPU) or can it be in a remote rack with communication via ControlNet?

Answer

The HI 1756WS or the HI 1756-2WS does not need to be installed in the local rack as it is treated as a normal device. You can use the HI 1756 WS and HI 1756-2 WS in a remote chassis communicating via ControlNet. This is not true for all Hardy PLC modules.

See for additional information on setting up the unit in a remote chassis.
