Configuring the I/O

Chapter 4

10.

Click OK.

The bridge is now configured for the EtherNet/IP network, added to the
RSLogix 5000 project, and appears in the I/O Configuration folder. In
our example, a 1756-EN2TR bridge appears under the I/O Configuration
folder with its assigned name.

There are two ways to add the option module into the I/O configuration:

Drive Add-on Profiles (RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later)

Generic Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, all versions)

These are described in the following separate sections. If your version of RSLogix
5000 software supports drive Add-on Profiles, we recommend that you use this
method.

Using RSLogix 5000 Drive Add-on Profiles, Version 16.00 or Later

When compared to using the Generic Profile (all versions), the RSLogix 5000
drive Add-on Profiles provide the following advantages:

Profiles for specific drives that provide descriptive controller tags for basic
control I/O words (Logic Command/Status and Reference/Feedback)
and Datalinks. Additionally, Datalinks automatically take the name of the
drive parameter to which they are assigned. These profiles virtually
eliminate I/O mismatch errors and substantially reduce drive
configuration time.

New Drive tab eliminates the need for a separate drive software
configuration tool.

Drive configuration settings are saved as part of the RSLogix 5000
software, version 16.00 or later, project file (.ACD) and also downloaded
to the controller.

Revision

Electronic Keying

Click Change to change Revision or Electronic Keying.
The minor revision of the firmware in the bridge. (You already set the major revision
by selecting the bridge series in step 5.)
Compatible Module. The “Compatible Module” setting for Electronic Keying
verifies that the physical module is consistent with the software configuration before
the controller and bridge make a connection. Therefore, be sure that you have set the
correct revision in this dialog box. See the online Help for additional information on
this and other Electronic Keying settings. If keying is not required, select “Disable
Keying.” Disable keying is recommended.
