Modify Default
Configuration
for Output Modules

RSLogix 5000 programming software automatically creates module-defined
data types and tags when a module is created. This section describes how to
modify the default configuration for output modules.

Data types symbolically name module configuration, input and output data.
Tags let you provide each a unique name, such as where the user-defined data
type and slot reside on the controller. This information is used to
communicate data between the controller and module.

Follow these steps to modify a default configuration.

1.

On the New Module dialog box, make sure Open Module Properties
is checked.

2.

Click OK.

The Module Properties dialog box appears with tabs to access additional
module information. The Connection tab is the default.

TIP

Tabs can be selected in any order. The following examples are
for instructional purposes.
