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

page 21

, 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.
