4. Click Yes. The Module Properties dialog box closes.

5. On the controller organizer, double-click on the 1756-RIO module to

re-open the Module Properties dialog box. Select the Remote I/O tab.

Notice that the Configure Remote I/O Devices button is now active.

6. Click the Configure Remote I/O Devices button to launch the

configuration tool.

The 56RioCfgScan dialog box displays. You are now in the
configuration tool software for scanner mode. You can change
operating modes and configure a Remote I/O network.

The Configure Remote I/O
Devices button is now active.

TIP

If you want to change operating modes, you should do this
before configuring the module’s settings. When you change the
operating mode, you are downloading the latest firmware to
the module. The firmware is specific to the mode you choose,
scanner or adapter.

IMPORTANT

Notice that because ‘Scanner’ mode was set in the RSLogix
5000 programming software on the General Tab of the RIO
Module Properties dialog box, the scanner program within the
configuration tool (56RioCfgScan) starts and displays at the top
of the profile’s dialog box.
