Configure the 1757-ABRIO Module Chapter 2
Installing AbRioCfg
Software 1. Verify that RSLinx software and RSLinx OEM or RSLinx
Professional (not RSLinx Lite) software is installed before you
install the AbRioCfg software.
2. Insert the CD supplied with the 1757-ABRIO module and run the
program setup.exe.
3. Confirm that you have RSLinx OEM or RSLinx Professional (not
RSLinx Lite) software installed.
Before you install a new version of AbRioCfg software, you must
delete the old version. Use the Add or Remove Programs utility in
your Windows Control Panel to remove the previous version.
Autoconfigure the I/O
Racks The first step in building a configuration is to perform an
autoconfiguration. To complete an autoconfiguration, the RIO
network must be connected to the 1757-ABRIO module and the
module must be in “inactive” mode.
1. Start AbRioCfg software.
IMPORTANT
Messages about the DTL32.DLL during installation or when you
run the software indicate problems with the RSLinx software
installation.
If you get these messages, install the proper version of RSLinx
software before you continue.
IMPORTANT
Removing the software does not delete stored configuration
files.
TIP
If you see question marks for the 1757-ABRIO module when
running RSNetWorx or RSLinx software, install the EDS file
from the provided CD.
You do not need to load the firmware on the CD into your
1757-ABRIO module as the module ships with the latest version
of firmware. The firmware is on the CD for archival purposes
only.
ATTENTION
When using AbRioCfg software, you must left-click to
select/highlight before you can right-click to activate menu
options.
