Adding the Module to an Existing MicroLogix Project

If you are installing and configuring the module with a MicroLogix processor,

follow these steps. If you are using a CompactLogix processor, refer to the

previous section.
The first step in setting up the processor ladder file is to define the I/O type

module to the system. Start RSLogix 500, and follow these steps:
1 In RSLogix, open your existing application, or start a new application,

depending on your requirements.

2 Double-click the I/O Configuration icon located in the Controller folder in the

project tree. This action opens the I/O Configuration dialog box.

3 On the I/O Configuration dialog box, select "Other - Requires I/O Card Type

ID" at the bottom of the list in the right pane, and then double-click to open

the Module dialog box.
