Reconfigure a Module Online
Use Ladder Logic to
Reconfigure an I/O Module
If an I/O module supports reconfiguration, you can reconfigure the module via
one of these:
• Logix Designer application
• A MSG instruction in program logic
Reconfigure a Module via Logix Designer Application
To reconfigure a module, perform this procedure.
1. In the Logix Designer application, right-click a module in the I/O
Configuration tree and choose Properties.
IMPORTANT Consider these guidelines in SIL 2 applications:
• We recommend configuring SIL 2 safety applications offline. Even if the
Logix controller and RSLogix 5000 software allow online SIL 2 configuration
(that is, module interface option changes, import of the Add-On
Instructions, and so forth.) a download to the processor is required.
• Enabling SIL 2 on spare modules while online is not supported.
• A programming terminal is not normally connected.
ATTENTION: Use care when changing the configuration of an I/O module. You
could inadvertently cause the I/O module to operate incorrectly.
