Configuring the I/O
This chapter provides instructions on how to configure a Rockwell
Automation ControlLogix, PLC-5, or SLC 500 controller to communicate
with the adapter and connected PowerFlex drive.
Using RSLinx Classic
Software RSLinx Classic software, in all its variations (Lite, Gateway, OEM, and so
forth), is used to provide a communication link between the computer,
network, and controller. RSLinx Classic software requires its
network-specific driver to be configured before communication is
established with network devices. To configure the RSLinx driver, follow
this procedure.
1. Start RSLinx Classic software and select Communications >
Configure Drivers to display the Configure Drivers screen.
2. From the Available Driver Types pull-down menu, choose the computer
communication card (1784-KTCX, 1784-PCC, or 1784-PCIC) being
used to connect your computer to the network.
3. Click Add New… to display the Add New RSLinx Driver screen.
4. Use the default name or type a new name and click OK.
The ‘Configure driver:’ screen appears.
5. Configure the driver for your computer and network settings.
6. Click OK.
