3.4 Adding the Module to an Existing MicroLogix Project
If you are installing and configuring the module with a MicroLogix processor,
follow these steps. If you are using a CompactLogix processor, refer to the
previous section.
This chapter describes how to install and configure the module to work with your
application. The configuration process consists of the following steps.
1 Use RSLogix to identify the module to the processor and add the module to a
project.
Note: The RSLogix software must be in "offline" mode to add the module to a project.
2 Modify the example ladder logic to meet the needs of your application, and
copy the ladder logic to the processor. Example ladder logic files are provided
on the CD-ROM.
Note: If you are installing this module in an existing application, you can copy the necessary
elements from the example ladder logic into your application.
The rest of this chapter describes these steps in more detail.
The first step in setting up the processor ladder file is to define the I/O type
module to the system. Start RSLogix 500, and follow these steps:
1 In RSLogix, open your existing application, or start a new application,
depending on your requirements.
2 Double-click the I/O Configuration icon located in the Controller folder in the
project tree. This action opens the I/O Configuration dialog box.
3 On the I/O Configuration dialog box, select "Other - Requires I/O Card Type
ID" at the bottom of the list in the right pane, and then double-click to open
the Module dialog box.
