Link Module Configuration with RSLogix 5000 Project Chapter 4
The table shows how the prefixes are used in creating alias names, the
descriptions that are created for the aliases, and how the addresses are
created from the base tags and data mappings.
4. Write a ControlLogix control program in the RSLogix 5000 project to
write outputs to the placeholder array, then compare the outputs to the
monitored outputs from the existing system.
5. Change the 1756-RIO module to scanner mode; or use an existing 1756-
RIO scanner.
See Launch the Configuration Tool and Select the Module Mode on
page 30.
6. Export a scanner configuration and download it to the scanner.
7. Create aliases with the scanner configuration tool using the same
prefixes.
8. Import the aliases into the RSLogix 5000 project.
Item Description
1 Prefixes are left at their defaults.
2 The Base Tag field represents the location of the 1756-RIO adapter in the rack. In
this case, the adapter is in slot 0.
