Configure the Adapter for Direct Connection and Rack Optimization in RSLogix 5000 Software Chapter 5

Add the ArmorPoint Digital Modules and Configure For Rack
Optimization Connection

You must now add the ArmorPoint I/O modules to the I/O Configuration List
under the adapter.

In this example, you add a 1738-IB4M12 24V DC digital input module, a
1738-OB4EM12 24V DC digital output, a 1738-IE2CM12 analog currentinput
module, and a 1738-OE2CM12 analog current output module. Use these steps as
a guide when you are configuring different I/O modules for your system.

In this example, the digital input and output modules are configured for rack
optimization.

Add the Digital Input Module

1. Right-click the ArmorPOINT I/O Chassis in the I/O Configuration

folder, and select New Module.

The Select Module Type dialog opens.

2. Select the appropriate filter for Module Type Category (for the example we

selected Digital) and Module Type Vendor (for the example we selected
Allen-Bradley).
Note: to select only one category you will need to unselect those already
selected.

IMPORTANT

If you exceed the adapter chassis size trying to add more modules
than you configured, the New Module selection appears dim and is
disabled. Increase the adapter chassis size to add more I/O modules.
