Configure the Adapter for Direct Connection in RSLogix 5000 Software Chapter 4

Connection choices are the following:

None – the adapter only makes a direct connection to each of the
modules referenced by the data. RPI is disabled in this case.

Rack optimization – digital I/O data is collected into a rack image. This
rack image does not include analog or specialty I/O modules.

Listen only - rack optimization – read or verify input data only, but does
not control the modules. When you have multiple controllers, one
controller is used to control and the other controllers are used to
monitor. When the owning controller of rack-optimized connection
closes the connection, the Listen-Only data will also stop.

7. Choose None as Connection, because we are only making direct

connections, then click OK.

Note: There is no need to have a rack-optimized connection if all I/O
connections to the POINT I/O modules are directly connected.

A dialog box opens.

8. Click Yes.
9. In the New Module screen click OK to accept the new configuration.

The 1734-AENT/B adapter appears indented under the local
1756-ENBT bridge module in the I/O Configuration folder.

The name of your adapter appears in the Ethernet folder.

Note: The requested packet interval (RPI) is disabled because you have
chosen None as the Connection.

IMPORTANT

The chassis size value equals 1 for the adapter plus the number of I/O
modules installed (physically present on the I/O backplane).
