This Quick Start describes the tasks you need to become familiar with the ProcessLogix™
system, including:
• starting the software
• creating a controller
• configuring I/O modules
• assigning modules to a Control Execution Environment (CEE)
• creating a PID Loop
– creating a Control Module (CM)
– assigning the CM to the CEE
– building the PID loop
– wiring the blocks
– configuring parameters
– entering alarms
– downloading the CM to the 1757-PLX52
– changing the CEE from inactive to active

• viewing pre-built screens
The tasks described in this Quick Start represent a sample program. This program is not
intended for actual process control applications. All modules configured in this Quick Start
should not be loaded to the controller unless they are in your chassis. After you have
completed the tasks in this sample program, you can use the sample to guide you as you
program your own process control application.
As you complete the tasks in this Quick Start, always use the ProcessLogix parameter naming
conventions so that the pre-built screens provided with the ProcessLogix system work
correctly.
IMPORTANT
The ProcessLogix R500.1 Server runs on Microsoft Windows 2000®
Server.
