1.8 Using the Sample Ladder Logic
The sample program for your MVI56-101S module includes custom tags, data
types, and ladder logic for data I/O and status monitoring. For most applications,
you can run the sample ladder program without modification, or, for advanced
applications, you can incorporate the sample program into your existing
application.
The inRAx Solutions CD provides one or more versions of the sample ladder
logic. The version number appended to the file name corresponds with the
firmware version number of your ControlLogix processor. The firmware version
and sample program version must match.
1.8.1 Determining the Firmware Version of Your Processor
Important: The RSLinx service must be installed and running on your computer in order for
RSLogix to communicate with the processor. Refer to your RSLinx and RSLogix documentation for
help configuring and troubleshooting these applications.
1 Connect an RS-232 serial cable from the COM (serial) port on your PC to the
communication port on the front of the processor.
2 Start RSLogix 5000 and close any existing project that may be loaded.
3 Open the C
OMMUNICATIONS menu and choose G O O NLINE . RSLogix will
establish communication with the processor. This may take a few moments.
4 When RSLogix has established communication with the processor, the
Connected To Go Online dialog box will open.
