Configuring the Module

The configuration data directly correlates to the module parameters.
Refer to

Appendix B

for more information.

Entering MicroLogix 1500 Configuration Data Using RSLogix 500
Before v6.30

Earlier versions of RSLogix 500 can be used, but the configuration data
must be entered in raw form in a Data Config table following the format
in

Table 3.C

. However, RSLogix 500 v6.30 (or higher) is highly

recommended for use with the 1769-SM2 because it contains a dedicated
I/O configuration window for the module to simplify the configuration
process. Version 6.30 is also required to perform explicit messaging,
such as parameter reads/writes.

Entering MicroLogix 1500 Configuration Data Using RSLogix 500
v6.30 (or higher)

Allocate and enter the configuration data by performing these steps:

1. In the RSLogix 500 treeview, double-click on I/O Configuration to

open the I/O Configuration window. Double-click the 1769-SM2 in
the Current Cards Available list to add the module to the controller
system. Select the “1769-SM2” row and click the Adv Config
command button. The 1769-SM2 I/O Configuration window
(

Figure 3.1

) appears.
