30 Configure the Module Using RSLogix 5000

Configure Your I/O Module

You must configure your module upon installation. The module will not work
until it has been configured with at least the default configuration.

RSLogix 5000 Configuration Software

You must use RSLogix 5000, version 17 or later to set configuration for your
module. You have the option of accepting default configuration for your
module or writing point level configuration specific to your application.

Both options are explained in detail, including views of software screens, in
this chapter.

Overview of the
Configuration Process

When you use the RSLogix 5000 software to configure a module, you must
perform the following steps:

1. Add the Local EtherNet/IP Bridge (1756-EN2T or 1756-EN2TR) to

your project’s I/O Configuration.

2. Add the 1732E-IB16M12SOEDR as a child of the 1756-EN2T module.

3. Accept the default configuration or change it to specific configuration

for the module.

4. Edit configuration for a module when changes are needed.

Add a New Bridge and
Module to Your
RSLogix 5000 Project

After you have started RSLogix 5000 and created a controller, you must add a
new bridge and a new module to your project. The bridge allows your module
to communicate with the controller.

The wizard allows you to create a new module and write configuration. You
can use default configuration or write specific configuration for your
application.

IMPORTANT
