Configuring Your Backup System
Before you begin, make sure that you have installed RSLinx,
RSLogix5 and RSNetWorx. For more details on installing any of this
software, refer to its respective installation documentation.
To configure your backup system, complete all of the following
procedures detailed on pages 4-7:
•
Initialize the system
•
Configure handshaking messages with RSNetWorx
•
Configure I/O
•
Create and configure the backup integer file
•
Verify the backup system
Important: These procedures require that both processors are in
the default memory state (i.e., there is no program loaded).
Initialize the System
To begin configuring your backup system, you must first initialize
both processors:
•
Launch RSLogix 5.
•
Connect to the first processor.
•
Clear memory.
•
Assign a name to your project and save it.
•
Connect to the second processor, and repeat steps 3 and 4.
Configure Handshaking Messages With RSNetWorx
Use RSNetWorx to set up the send and receive scheduled messages
that allow handshaking between the two ControlNet PLC-5
processors.
