Preface
About This Quick Start This quick start provides examples and procedures for the use of a
CompactLogix packaged controller system. This publication also includes
RSLogix 5000 programming software version 18 updates.
The procedures cover many of the most common user tasks, such as:
• connecting the controller to multiple devices (local and distributed I/O,
a drive, and a PanelView Plus terminal).
• connecting and configuring networks (EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, and
serial) for use with CompactLogix systems.
• creating and monitoring controller programs.
The examples are designed to get devices installed and communicating with
each other in the simplest way possible. The programming examples are not
complex, and offer easy solutions to verify that devices are functioning and
communicating properly.
The beginning of each chapter contains the following information. Read these
sections carefully before beginning work in each chapter:
• Before You Begin - This section lists the steps that must be completed
