Fully Software Configurable
RSLogix 5000 uses a custom, easily understood interface to write
configuration. All module features are enabled or disabled through
the I/O configuration portion of the software.
You can also use the software to interrogate your Sequence of
Events module to retrieve:
• serial number
• revision information
• product code
• vendor identification
• error/fault information
• diagnostic counters.
By eliminating such tasks as setting hardware switches and
jumpers, the software makes module configuration easier and more
reliable.
Producer/Consumer Model
By using the Producer/Consumer model, Sequence of Events
modules can produce data without having been polled by a
controller first. The module produces the data and the
owner-controller device consumes it.
