Configure the I/O
There are three ways to add the adapter into the I/O configuration:
•
End device Add-on Profiles (RSLogix 5000 software, version 16 or later)
•
Classic Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, version 15 only)
•
Generic Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, all versions)
These are described in separate sections below. If your version of RSLogix 5000
software supports Add-on Profiles, we recommend using this method.
Using RSLogix 5000 End Device Add-on Profiles (version 16 or later)
When compared to using the RSLogix 5000 Classic Profile, version 15 only, or
Generic Profile (all versions), the RSLogix 5000 Add-on Profiles provide these
advantages:
•
Profiles for specific E3 Plus or 825-P that provide descriptive controller
tags for the Input and Output Assembly. These profiles virtually eliminate
I/O mismatch errors and substantially reduce configuration time.
•
Unicast connection, version 18 or later.
Add the End Device/Adapter to the I/O Configuration
To transmit data between the bridge and the end device, you must add the end
device as a child device to the parent bridge. In this example, RSLogix 5000
software, version 20, is used with Add-on Profile, version 1.01.
1.
In the treeview, right-click the bridge and choose New Module.
The Select Module screen appears. In our example, we right-click the
1756-ENBT bridge. Expand the Other group to display all of the available
drives with their communication adapters.
