IMPORTANT

In RSLogix 5000, version 10 and greater, the message
configuration screens changed significantly to make it
easier for you to configure you messages.

For example, in version 9 and earlier, depending on the
Message Type, you are required to configure some
combination of the following:

• Service Code
• Object Type
• Object ID
• Object Attribute
• Source
• Number of Elements
• Destination

In version 10 and greater, however, you are only required
to choose a Service Type. RSLogix 5000 fills in most of the
fields listed above. You are only required to configure the
Instance field; Instance represents the module channel on
which the service is performed, if appropriate

The following sections show how to configure messages
with RSLogix 5000, versions 9 and earlier and RSLogix
5000, versions 10 and greater.
