Rockwell Automation Logix5000 Control Systems: Connect POINT I/O Modules over a DeviceNet Network Quick Start - Manual (Page 47)

Rockwell Automation Publication IASIMP-QS026A-EN-P - July 2012 47
Chapter
3
Use the POINT I/O Adapter and Output Module in
an RSLogix 5000 Project
In this chapter, you complete the following tasks:
• Create DeviceNet tags with the DeviceNet Tag Generator tool
• Add ladder logic to the RSLogix 5000 project
• Download the updated project to your controller
• Test the ladder logic on your 1734-OB4E output module
Before You Begin
Before you begin, you must complete these tasks:
• These tasks described in Before Using This Publication on page 5 :
– Prepare the Logix5000 control system hardware
– Prepare the computer
– Configure the network
– Create an RSLogix 5000 project
IMPORTANT
Multiple Logix5000 control systems can use POINT I/O modules over a DeviceNet network. For example purposes,
this quick start describes the use of POINT I/O modules over a DeviceNet network in a CompactLogix 5370 L3
control system that includes a 1769-SDN scanner module in a local expansion module slot.
This section uses an RSLogix 5000 project that matches the control system described previously and is named
POINT_IO_on_DeviceNet_quick_start.acd. The 1769-SDN scanner module has been configured so the
RSNetWorx tab links the RSLogix 5000 project to the DeviceNet file created in
Create a DeviceNet Configuration File
on page 30 .
If you use a different Logix5000 controller and DeviceNet scanner module, you can complete the tasks in this
chapter but must account for any software differences.
