Chapter 10 Configure ControlLogix Analog I/O Modules
6. In the slot box, enter the module’s slot number.
7. In the Description box, type an optional description for the module.
8. From the Comm Format pull-down menu, choose a communication
format.
See page 205 for a description of the communication format choices.
9. Choose an electronic keying method.
See page 37 for details.
10. Do one of the following to either accept default configuration settings
or edit configuration data.
a. To accept the default configuration settings, make sure Open Module
Properties is not checked and then click OK.
b. To set up a custom configuration, make sure Open Module
Properties is checked and then click OK.
The New Module Properties dialog box appears with tabs for entry
of additional configuration settings.
IMPORTANT
Make sure you choose the correct communication format
for your application because you cannot change the
selection after the program is downloaded with the
controller. You will have to reconfigure the module to
change the communication format.
TIP
When you choose a listen-only communication format,
only the General and Connection tabs appear when you
view a module’s properties in RSLogix 5000 software.
Controllers that want to listen to a module but not own it
use the listen-only communication format.
See page 205 for more information on
communication formats.
