Configuring the I/O
This chapter provides instructions on how to configure a Rockwell Automation
ControlLogix controller to communicate with the option module 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.
2.
From the Communications menu, choose Configure Drivers to display the
Configure Drivers dialog box.
3.
From the Available Driver Types pull-down menu, choose ControlNet
Drivers.
4.
Click Add New to display the ControlNet Driver Selection dialog box.
5.
In the Available ControlNet Drivers list, choose the computer connection
adapter (1784-PCC, 1770-KFC, or 1784-KTCX) being used to connect
your computer to the network, and click Select to display the Driver
Configuration dialog box.
6.
Configure the driver for your computer and network settings and click
OK.
The Configure Drivers dialog box reports the progress of the
configuration.
7.
When the Add New RSLinx Driver dialog box appears, type a name (if
desired) and click OK.
