Configure the I/O

There are three ways to add the adapter into the I/O configuration:

End device Add-on Profiles (RSLogix 5000 software, version 16 or later)

Classic Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, version 15 only)

Generic Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, all versions)

These are described in separate sections below. If your version of RSLogix 5000
software supports Add-on Profiles, we recommend using this method.

Using RSLogix 5000 End Device Add-on Profiles (version 16 or later)

When compared to using the RSLogix 5000 Classic Profile, version 15 only, or
Generic Profile (all versions), the RSLogix 5000 Add-on Profiles provide these
advantages:

Profiles for specific E3 Plus or 825-P that provide descriptive controller
tags for the Input and Output Assembly. These profiles virtually eliminate
I/O mismatch errors and substantially reduce configuration time.

Unicast connection, version 18 or later.

Add the End Device/Adapter to the I/O Configuration

To transmit data between the bridge and the end device, you must add the end
device as a child device to the parent bridge. In this example, RSLogix 5000
software, version 20, is used with Add-on Profile, version 1.01.

1.

In the treeview, right-click the bridge and choose New Module.

The Select Module screen appears. In our example, we right-click the
1756-ENBT bridge. Expand the Other group to display all of the available
drives with their communication adapters.
