Configure a Generic Profile
You will use a generic profile if your application requires the use of rollover
and preset in output tags and:
• your RSLogix 5000 software is earlier than version 18 for either
module series A or B.
• your RSLogix 5000 software is earlier than version 18 for
two additional module series B modes: Period Rate frequency,
Continuous Rate frequency.
A generic profile copies an .ACD file that contains the identical tag structure
that is included in software version 18. You must use the 1756-Generic Profile
as indicated in the procedures.
Ladder logic lets you copy the module information between the user-defined
data types and the module-defined data types to allow the controller and the
1756-HSC module to exchange data.
After you have downloaded and opened the sample code .ACD file, follow
these steps to create a generic profile.
1. In RSLogix 5000 software, open or create a project for your controller.
From the File menu, choose New to access the New Controller dialog
box to create a controller name.
2. On the Controller Organizer, right-click I/O Configuration and choose
New Module.
The Select Module window appears.
3. Click the ‘+’ next to Other to display a list of I/O modules.
4. Select a generic module and click OK.
IMPORTANT
Before beginning configuration, you should download the
following file for either the series A or series B application,
‘Generic Connection for the 1756-HSC Ser A Rev 2.1/Ser B
Rev 3.X’.
