Using RSLogix 5000
This chapter covers the following subjects:
• Things you should know
• Module memory map
• Configure generic profile
• Module configuration
• Reading input/status data
Section 3.1
Things You
Should Know
This chapter describes how to configure the IRT8I module for the ControlLogix and
CompactLogix system. In the examples below, the Control Net adapter and/or Ethernet
adapter were used for communication between the Logix processor and the Flex IO bus.
Note: Refer to the associated I/O scanner documentation if using a SLC
controller with Control Net.
Note: If using a PLC 5 controller, refer to the PLC 5 controller
documentation for Control Net configuration information.
!
Attention
The Remote I/O and Device Net adapters do not support the 1794sc-
IRT8I module. The IRT8I module is supported only by the Control Net
and Ethernet adapters.
Section 3.2
Module Memory
Map
The following figure describes the data mapping for the module. The configuration
image is written to the module using tags generated by the “generic Flex module” profile
used to represent the IRT8I within RSLogix 5000. See section 3.3.3 for more details.
Input data and status data can be read from the module using the input image and status
image. Again, tags generated by the “generic Flex module” profile will be used to read
the input and status image data.
