Configure Your FLEX I/O Module with
RSLogix 5000 Software
Overview This chapter describes how to configure the 1794-IJ2 module for the
ControlLogix and CompactLogix system. The 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 Frequency Input module, you should have
already added and configured your Ethernet bridge and 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.
