A Guidance Controller communicates with a RIO by means of a 10/100 Mbit Ethernet port (Figure 61-8). This high-speed and robust means of communication ensures that the RIO data can be quickly and reliably accessed by a controller on the same Ethernet network.

See RIO Ethernet Configuration for information on configuring the IP address of the RIO and for setting other key communication parameters.
