Electronic Keying

Select one of these keying options for your module during initial module
configuration:

Exact Match - all of the parameters described below must match or the

inserted module will reject the connection.

Compatible Modules – The following criteria must be met, or else the

inserted module will reject the connection:

• The Module Types, Catalog Number, and Major Revision must

match.

• The Minor Revision of the physical module must be equal to or

greater than the one specified in the software.

Disable Keying – does not employ keying at all.

When you insert a module into a slot in a ControlLogix chassis, RSLogix 5000
compares the following information for the inserted module to that of the
configured slot:

• Vendor
• Product Type
• Catalog Number
• Major Revision
• Minor Revision

This feature prevents the inadvertent insertion of the wrong module in the
wrong slot.

ATTENTION

!

Changing the Electronic Keying selections may cause the
connection to the module to be broken and may result in a
loss of data.

Be extremely cautious when using this option; if used
incorrectly, this option can lead to personal injury or death,
property damage or economic loss.
