Im am designing a system containing a compactlogix controller with controlnet communication. I have some 24V I/O (8 inputs and 8 outputs) 1000 meters (3280 feet) away from the controller. I am looking for some recommendations on how to communicate with the I/O. The communication doesnt have to be fast, the I/O is mostly pushbuttons and lights. Should I go with controlnet? I might have to get a repeater (control net on coax is only good for 1000 meters). Should I go with remote I/O (I would need to purchase a card )? I am also not sure about the I/O module choice either. Point I/O or Flex I/O? any help is appreciated. thanks
