Configuring the I/O

Using the RSLogix 5000 Generic Profile, All Versions

We recommend that you use the basic RSLogix 5000 Generic Profile for
only the following reasons:

• A specific drive profile in other versions of RSLogix 5000 software is

unavailable.

• Users are already familiar with a drive Generic Profile and do not want to

convert an existing project to a Classic Profile, versions 13.00…15.00, or
to a drive Add-on Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or
later).

• A project must maintain specific revision level control.

• The controller cannot be taken offline. RSlogix 5000 software, version

16.00 or later, enables the drive Generic Profile to be added while the
controller is online and in the Run mode.

Add the Drive/Adapter to the I/O Configuration

To transmit data between the bridge and the drive, you must add the drive as
a child device to the parent bridge.

1. In the treeview, right-click the bridge and select New Module… to

display the Select Module screen.

In our example, we right-click on the 1756-ENBT/A bridge.

2. Expand the Communications group to display all of the available

communication modules.

3. Select ‘ETHERNET-MODULE’ from the list to configure the drive and

its connected 20-COMM-E adapter.

4. Click OK.
