Configure Your FLEX I/O Module with
RSLogix 5000 Software
Overview This chapter describes how to configure the FLEX I/O Thermocouple, RTD,
and mV module for the ControlLogix and CompactLogix system using the
RSLogix 5000 software. The 1794-IRT8 module can communicate through
different networks such as ControlNet, Ethernet, Profibus, among others. In
the examples below, the Ethernet adapter is used for communication between
the Logix processor and the FLEX I/O bus.
You need to follow these series of steps to fully configure your FLEX I/O
module in the RSLogix 5000 software.
1. Add and configure the new local bridge module, such as 1756-ENBT, to
your project. This user manual assumes you have already properly
configured this module. Refer to the associated documentation.
2. Add and configure the new adapter module, such as a FLEX I/O
EtherNet Adapter (1794-AENT). This user manual assumes you have
already properly configured this module. Refer to the associated
documentation.
3. Add and configure your FLEX I/O module. See the steps provided
below.
4. Download the configuration to the controller.
Add and Configure the
FLEX I/O Module To be able to add your FLEX I/O Thermocouple, RTD, mV module, you
should have already added and configured your Ethernet bridge and/or
adapter.
ATTENTION
If using an SLC controller with ControlNet, refer to the
associated I/O scanner documentation.
If using a PLC 5 controller, refer to the PLC 5 controller
documentation for ControlNet configuration information.
