Configure the Controller Application
In this chapter, you learn how to configure controller templates that aid consistent controller implementation, including
the use of periodic tasks and setting appropriate task priorities. You complete the following tasks:
• Download the controller templates based on system requirements
• Apply the template to your controller
• Configure EtherNet/IP communication modules for the controller
• Configure I/O modules
• Add HART modules with diagnostic capability, if applicable
• Add remote I/O chassis connections
The described tasks are to be repeated for each controller that is being configured within your system.
Before You Begin
You must complete these tasks before using this chapter:
• Prerequisites listed on page 6
• Information needed per controller:
– Controller names and types, including if redundancy is to be used
– Controller task rates for the application based on tasks used in sizing calculations in the PSE
– Network adapter IP addresses
– Local and remote I/O rack configuration
What You Need
You have RSLogix 5000 software installed and able to communicate with the controllers. If this is a virtual environment,
the virtual image templates are deployed.
