The Enterprise Gateway for Rockwell ControlLogix product provides a backplane driver that supports communication to Rockwell ControlLogix PLCs in the same hardware rack.
These devices are defined by the runtime during startup time, based on recognizing the ControlLogix PLCs in the same hardware rack.
The names of the devices are Local CPU X, where the X
corresponds to the slot number the ControlLogix occupies in
the hardware rack.
For example: a ControlLogix PLC in slot 0 would be
identified and defined as Local CPU 0.
