What is the SoftLogix System?

Chapter 2

This SoftLogix Chassis Monitor now shows our new controller in slot 1.

Change the RSLinx Software Slot

The RSLinx software module automatically defaults to Slot 0 in the chassis. But
you can program the virtual backplane to use the RSLinx module in another slot
before starting up the SoftLogix application. This flexibility allows a SoftLogix
module to be used in Slot 0 if so desired.

Complete these steps to set up RSLinx software, version 2.59.00 or later, in the
chassis.

1. In RSLinx software, from the Communications menu, choose

Configure Drivers.

The Configure Drivers dialog box appears.

2. From the Available Driver Types pull-down menu, choose

Virtual Backplane.
