Configure the I/O Chapter 4
Using the RSLogix 5000 Generic Profile (all versions)
The basic RSLogix 5000 Generic Profile is recommended only when the
following is true:
• A specific profile in other versions of RSLogix 5000 software is
unavailable.
• Users are already familiar with a Generic Profile and do not want to
convert an existing project to a Classic Profile, version 15, or a Add-on
Profile, version 16 or later.
• A project must maintain specific revision level control.
• The controller cannot be taken offline. RSLogix 5000 software, version 16
or later, enables the Generic Profile to be added while the controller is
online and in the Run mode.
• If the Input Data types do not support the Input and Output Assembly
combination desired.
Logix Controller I/O Messaging
RSLogix 5000 software is used to configure I/O messaging between a Logix
controller and an E3 Plus EtherNet/IP network adapter on an EtherNet/IP
network. Follow these steps to configure a Logix controller for I/O messaging.
1. Right-click the EtherNet/IP network scanner in I/O Configuration and
choose New Module to open the Select Module Type dialog box.
2. Select Generic Ethernet Module and click OK.
3. Enter a name for the E3 Plus EtherNet/IP network adapter.
The name creates a tag in RSLogix 5000 software that can be used to read
and write data from the E3 Plus EtherNet/IP network adapter.
