Remove or Inhibit a Connection

You can remove a connection in RSLogix 5000 software by going
offline, right-clicking the connection icon, and choosing Delete.
Download to apply the changes.

You can also Inhibit a connection in Run mode, by double-clicking
the connection icon and checking the Inhibit box on the Connection
tab.

Open a Class 3 Connection
from a Logix Controller

In a Class 3 connection, data is exchanged by using an explicit
message instruction (MSG). Every time the MSG is executed in the
Logix controller, data is exchanged with the GuardPLC controller.

Configure the GuardPLC Controller Assemblies

In RSLogix Guard PLUS! software, set up the appropriate assemblies
and connect the signals. In this example, we connected signals to the
input and output assemblies as shown below.

Make sure the Run/Idle header box is unchecked as Class 3
connections do not use a Run/Idle header.
