Chapter 6 Configure the Module Using RSLogix 5000 Software
RSLogix 5000 Configuration Software
You must use RSLogix 5000, version 18 or later, to configure your module. You
have the option of accepting default configuration for your module or writing
point-level configuration specific to your application.
Both options are explained in detail, including views of software screens, in this
chapter.
Overview of the
Configuration Process
through RSLogix 5000 When you use the RSLogix 5000 software to configure a module, you must
perform the following steps:
1. Add the Local EtherNet/IP Bridge (1756-EN2T, 1756-EN2TR, or 1756-
EN3TR) to your project’s I/O Configuration.
2. Add the 1732E-IB8M8SOER or 1732E-OB8M8SR module as a child of
the 1756-EN2T module.
3. Accept the default configuration or change it to specific configuration for
the module.
4. Edit configuration for a module when changes are needed.
Add a New Bridge and
Module to Your
RSLogix 5000 Project After you have started RSLogix 5000 software and created a controller, you must
add a new bridge and a new module to your project. The bridge allows your
module to communicate with the controller.
The wizard allows you to create a new module and write configuration. You can
use default configuration or write specific configuration for your application.
IMPORTANT Click Help on the configuration dialogs shown in this
section if you need assistance in selecting and setting the
parameters.
