Preface
About This Publication
This quick start provides examples and procedures for including POINT I/O
modules in a
Logix5000
control system over an EtherNet/IP network. The programming examples are not
complex, and offer easy solutions to verify that devices are functioning and communicating
properly.
Before Using This Publication
You can only complete the tasks described in this publication after first completing some
prerequisite tasks with a Logix5000 controller. For example, before you can add POINT I/O
modules to an RSLogix
5000 project, as described in
, you must first create the project.
Table 1
describes the tasks you must complete before using this publication.
IMPORTANT
This publication describes example tasks you complete when using POINT I/O modules on an EtherNet/IP network.
The tasks described are not the only tasks you can complete with the POINT I/O modules on an EtherNet/IP network.
IMPORTANT
The example graphics shown in
Table 1 - Required Tasks To Complete Before Using this Quick Start on page 6
are for
CompactLogix
5370 L3 controllers. Depending on the Logix5000 controller you are using, the specific steps to
complete the tasks described in the table might vary.
