Configure the I/O

Save the I/O Configuration to the Controller

After adding the bridge and drive/adapter to the I/O configuration, you must
download the configuration to the controller. Also save the configuration to a file
on your computer.

1.

In RSLogix 5000 software, from the Communications menu, choose
Download.

The Download dialog box appears.

2.

Click Download to download the configuration to the controller.

When the download is successfully completed, RSLogix 5000 software
goes into the Online mode and the I/O Not Responding box in the upper-
left of the window is flashing green. Also, a yellow warning symbol

is

displayed on the I/O Configuration folder in the treeview and on the end
device profile.

If the controller was in Run mode before clicking Download, RSLogix
5000 software prompts you to change the controller mode back to Remote
Run. In this case, choose the appropriate mode for your application. If the
controller was in Program mode before clicking Download, this prompt
does not appear.

3.

From the File menu, choose Save.

If this is the first time you saved the project, the Save As dialog box appears.
Navigate to a folder, type a file name, and click Save to save the
configuration to a file on your computer.

To be sure that the present project configuration values are saved, RSLogix
5000 software prompts you to upload them. Click Yes to upload/save.

TIP

If a message box reports that RSLogix 5000 software is unable to go online, from the
Communications menu, choose Who Active to find your controller in the Who Active dialog
box. After finding and selecting the controller, click Set Project Path to establish the path. If
your controller does not appear, you need to add or configure the EtherNet/IP network
driver in RSLinx software. Refer to the RSLinx online help.
