Saving the Configuration

After adding the scanner or bridge and the module to the I/O
configuration, you must download the configuration to the controller.
You should also save the configuration to a file on your computer.

Step 1.

Select Communications > Download. The Download
dialog box (figure 5.11) appears.

Note: If a message box reports that RSLogix is unable to go online,
select Communications > Who Active to try to find your controller
in the Who Active dialog box. If it does not appear, you need to add
or configure the EtherNet/IP driver in RSLinx. Refer to the RSLinx
online help.

Step 2.

Click Download to download the configuration to the
controller. When the download is completed successfully,
RSLogix enters online mode and the I/O OK box in the
upper-left part of the screen is green.

Step 3.

Select File > Save. If this is the first time that you saved
the project, the Save As dialog box appears. Navigate to a
folder, type a file name, and click Save to save the
configuration to a file on your computer.
