Saving the I/O Configuration to the Controller

After adding the bridge and the adapter to the I/O configuration, you

the configuration to a file on your computer.

2. Click Download to download the configuration to the controller.

When the download is completed successfully, click Yes. RSLogix
5000 enters the Rem Prog (Remote Program) mode.

3. Select File > Save. If this is the first time that you saved the project,

the Save As dialog box appears. Navigate to a folder, type a file
name, and click Save to save the configuration to a file on your
computer.

TIP: If a message box reports that RSLogix 5000 is unable to
go online, select Communications > Who Active to try to
find your controller in the Who Active screen. After finding
the controller, click the Set Project Path button to establish
the path. If your controller does not appear, you need to add or
configure the ControlNet driver in RSLinx. Refer to the
RSLinx online help.
