Configuring the I/O Chapter 4
Using the RSLogix 5000 (all versions) or Logix Designer (version 21 or
greater) Generic Profile
The basic RSLogix 5000/Logix Designer Generic Profile is only recommended
when:
• A specific drive profile in other versions of RSLogix 5000/Logix Designer
is unavailable.
• Users are already familiar with a Generic Profile and do not want to
convert an existing project to a drive Add-On Profile (RSLogix 5000
version 17 or greater and Logix Designer version 21 or greater).
• A project must maintain specific revision level control.
• The controller cannot be taken offline. RSLogix 5000 (all versions) and
Logix Designer (version 21 or greater) enables the drive Generic Profile to
be added while the controller is online and in the Run mode.
Adding the Drive 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 on the icon and select New
Module… to display the Select Module Type window. Expand the
Communications group to display all of the available communication
modules or search for “ETHERNET-MODULE”.
2. Select “ETHERNET-MODULE” from the list in the Select Module Type
window to configure the drive’s embedded EtherNet/IP adapter, and then
click Create. The drive’s New Module window appears.
