Configuring the QTS-CLX-APACS Module in RSLogix 5000.
Follow the procedure on page 8 to configure the QTS-CLX-APACS in RSLogix 5000.
To determine which connections you need to create, right click on the root of the tree and
select Edit Module Properties.
The QTS-CLX-APACS Module Properties dialog box appears. It shows the required
connections and the minimum connection sizes.
In the example shown, the required connections are:
• connection 0 with type SINT, minimum input size 70 and minimum output size 1
• connection 8 with type REAL, minimum input size 39 and minimum output size 1
In addition, connection 9 is always shown, although it is not required. Connection 9 is
used for module diagnostics. It is recommended that you always create connection 9,
with the sizes shown.
In monitor mode, the QTS-CLX-APACS does not wait for all connections to be open.

To export aliases, select Files/Export Alias File…
