The configuration file is typically modified using the programming software
configuration screen as shown below. It can also be modified through the
control program, if supported by the controller. See the configuration file chart
on Configuration Data File on page 50.

1.

Apply power to the system.

2.

Download your program, which contains the module configuration
settings, to the controller.

3.

Put the controller into Run mode. During a normal start-up, the module
status indicator turns on.

Module and channel configuration errors are reported to the controller. These
errors are typically reported in the controller’s I/O status file. Channel status
data is also reported in the module’s input data table, so these bits can be used
in your control program to flag a channel error.

TIP

The configuration default is to enable an analog channel.
For improved system performance, disable any unused
channels.

Step 5:

Go through the startup procedure.

TIP

If the module status indicator does not turn on, cycle
power. If the condition persists, contact your local
distributor or Rockwell Automation for assistance.

Step 6:

Monitor the module status to check if the module is operating correctly
