Configuring the I/O
Chapter 4
Saving the I/O Configuration to the Controller
After adding the bridge and drive/adapter to the I/O configuration, you must
download the configuration to the controller. You should also save the
configuration to a file on your computer.
1.
In the RSLogix 5000 or Logix Designer window, select Communications
> Download. The Download dialog box appears.
2.
Click Download to download the configuration to the controller. When
the download is successfully completed, RSLogix 5000 or Logix Designer
goes into the Online mode and the I/O OK box in the upper-left of the
screen should be steady green.
3.
Select File > Save. If this is the first time you saved the project, the Save As
dialog box appears. Navigate to a folder, type a file name, and click Save to
save the configuration to a file on your computer.
4.
Any Datalinks that were enabled in the controller and drive during I/O
configuration must also be configured in the drive. Each Datalink being
used must be assigned to a specific parameter in the drive or connected
peripheral (see
Configuring a Master-Slave Hierarchy on page 33
). If this is
not done, the controller will receive or send placeholder data instead of
actual drive or peripheral parameter values.
5.
Place the controller in Remote Run or Run Mode.
TIP
When using RSLogix 5000 or Logix Designer software, you can add the I/O
configuration of a Generic Profile while the controller is online and in the Run
mode.
TIP
If a message box reports that RSLogix 5000 or Logix Designer is unable
to go online, select Communications > Who Active to find your
controller in the Who Active screen. After finding and selecting the
controller, click Set Project Path to establish the path. If your
controller does not appear, you need to add or configure the EtherNet/
IP driver in RSLinx. See
Using RSLinx Classic on page 39
for details.
