Spectrum Controls 1756sc-CTR8 - Manual (Page 30)

Programming Your Module
This chapter explains how to program your module in the ControlLogix
system. It also describes how the module’s input configuration are
incorporated into your ladder logic program. Topics discussed include:
• importing the module’s configuration profile
• reviewing accessing and altering configuration options.
• configuring the modules input type and filter settings
• configuring alarms and limits
Module Installation
Incorporating your module into the system is similar to adding any type of
I/O module. You will use your RSLogix 5000 programming software. The
module is not currently in the pick list of this software so you will drag and
drop sample information from a sample program. This allows you to
import the configuration database into your project and set the attributes of
each tag. These settings control features such as the modules input type,
channel input range, data format, filter frequency, etc.
You will need to download the sample project from our website and then
import this into your project. Then you may access the controller tags to
configure the module once this process is complete.
Adding Your Module
to a Project
The module has a unique set of tag definitions which are used to configure
specific features. Chapter 5, Channel Configuration, Data, and Status,
gives you detailed information about the data content of the configuration.
These values are set using your programming software and ladder logic.
Before you can use these feature you must first include the module into the
project.
