The NdioNetwork is the top-level container component for “everything Ndio” in a station.

Only one NdioNetwork component is valid in a station—regardless of how many onboard I/O points and/or attached I/O boards are present.

The NdioNetwork should reside in the station’s DriverContainer (“Drivers”). The simplest way to add an NdioNetwork is from the “Driver Manager” view, using the “New” command. Or, you can simply copy the NdioNetwork from the ndio palette into Drivers.

The JACE platform must have the ndio module installed. Otherwise, an error occurs explaining that the ndio module is missing. If this occurs, install the ndio module in that JACE controller and repeat the operation.

The NdioNetwork component has the typical collection of slots and properties as most other network components. For details, See “Common network components” in the Drivers Guide. The following sections explain further:
