Access Module Data

Use the following information to use the I/O adapter data in the ladder logic
program:

POINT_IO_Adapter — the name you gave to your EtherNet adapter

# — slot number of POINT I/O module

C — configuration, I = input, O = output

Use the controller tags in your ladder program to read input data or write output
data.

For ControlLogix controller information, refer to ControlLogix System
User Manual, publication

1756-UM001

.

Slot Status Bits: The Slot Status bits display the connection status for each
of the POINT I/O modules that use a rack-optimized connection.

Bit 0 is reserved for the adapter and always reports a value of 1.

Each of the other bits (1 to 63) correspond to a POINT I/O module
that you install in the POINT I/O backplane.

In this example, we configured the 1734-AENTR adapter for both
rack-optimized and direct connections.
The slot status bits indicate that we installed the module in slot 2 with it
operating correctly:

0 = module participating with no errors and
1 = module not participating or connection error (typically, module
removed/missing)

Chapter Summary

This chapter provided instructions on configuring an AENTR Adapter for
Direct Connection and Rack Optimization in RSLogix 5000 Software. It
included information about hardware setup; configuring the I/O Modules;
adding an I/O adapter to the I/O configuration; configuring for rack-optimized
connections; configuring for direct connections; and accessing module data.
