Configuring the I/O
This chapter provides instructions on how to configure a Rockwell Automation
CompactLogix controller to communicate with the adapter and connected
PowerFlex 525 drive.
Using RSLinx Classic RSLinx Classic, in all its variations (Lite, Gateway, OEM, etc.), is used to provide
a communication link between the computer, network, and controller. RSLinx
Classic requires a driver to be configured before communications are established
with network devices. In our example, we will use the embedded EtherNet/IP
interface in the CompactLogix controller (1769-L36ERM) to configure the
controller as well as a bridge to the DeviceNet network. To configure the RSLinx
driver:
1. Start RSLinx and select Communications > Configure Drivers to display
the Configure Drivers window.
2. From the Available Driver Types pull-down box, choose “EtherNet/IP
Driver” and then click Add New… to display the Add New RSLinx Driver
window.
3. Use the default name or type a name and click OK. The “Configure
driver:” window appears.
4. Depending on your application, select either the browse local or remote
subnet option, and click OK. The Configure Drivers window reappears
with the new driver in the Configured Drivers list.
5. Click Close to close the Configure Drivers window. Keep RSLinx
running.
