Downloading the Project to the Controller and Going Online

After adding the scanner and drive/adapter to the I/O configuration, you
must download the configuration to the controller. You should also save the
configuration as a file on your computer.

1. In the RSLogix 5000 window, select Communications > Download.

The Download dialog box appears.

2. Click Download to download the configuration to the controller.

When the download is successfully completed, RSLogix 5000 software
goes into the Online mode and the I/O OK box in the upper-left of the
screen should be steady green.

3. Select File > Save.

If this is the first time you saved the project, the Save As dialog box
appears.

a. Navigate to a folder.

b. Type a file name.

c. Click Save to save the configuration as a file on your computer.

To be sure that the present project configuration values are saved,
RSLogix 5000 software prompts you to upload them. Click Yes to
upload and save the values.

4. Place the controller in Remote Run or Run Mode.

TIP: If a message box reports that RSLogix 5000 software is unable to
go online, select Communications > Who Active to find your
controller in the Who Active screen. After finding and selecting the
controller, click Set Project Path to establish the path. If your
controller does not appear, you need to add or configure the DeviceNet
driver with RSLinx software. See

Using RSLinx Classic Software on

page 4-1

and the RSLinx online help for details.
