Preface
This quick start describes how to use CompactLogix 5370 L1 controllers to install a simple CompactLogix 5370 L1
control system and execute a task with a local 1734 POINT I/O output module. The programming examples that are
included are not complex, and offer solutions to verify that devices are functioning and communicating properly.
The following topics are described in this quick start:
• Installing hardware for a basic CompactLogix 5370 L1 control system
• Installing software that is required for the basic CompactLogix 5370 L1 control system
• Configuring an EtherNet/IP network
• Creating a Studio 5000 Logix Designer™ project
Consider the following points:
• A typical CompactLogix 5370 L1 control system includes more components than listed in this quick start. For example, you can
use 1734 POINT I/O modules over an EtherNet/IP network in a CompactLogix 5370 L1 control system. Other quick starts
describe how to use additional components with your control system.
For a list of quick starts describing how to use other components in Logix5000™ control systems, see Choose to Integrate Optional
Devices on page 11.
• Not all tasks that are described in this quick start are required to complete the final task, that is, use ladder logic to test a
1769-OB16 output module as described beginning on page 47
. For example, you do not need a DeviceNet configuration file to
test the module.
We expect that you can attempt to complete additional tasks with your control system by using the publications that are listed on
page 11
. When you use those publications, some assumptions are made. For example, if you use a PanelView Plus terminal over an
EtherNet/IP network in a CompactLogix 5370 L3 control system, you must have created a project and assigned an IP address to the
controller.
If you complete all tasks that are described in this quick start, you can easily complete the tasks that are described in the
publications that are listed on page 11
.
You are not required to install nor configure an EtherNet/IP network to complete the tasks that are described in this quick
start. However, before you can complete the tasks that are described in some of the publications that are listed on page 11
,
you must first install an EtherNet/IP network.
For example, Chapter 4, on Create a Logix Designer Project
on page 47 describes how to use ladder logic to test a
1734-OB4E output module. The test is completed by using the output module in a local expansion slot in the
CompactLogix 5370 L1 control system and does not require use of a 1783-EMS08T Stratix 6000 managed switch because it
can be done via a USB connection to the controller.
If you use 1734 POINT I/O modules over an EtherNet/IP network in your CompactLogix 5370 L1 control system, as described
in the Logix5000 Control Systems: POINT I/O over an EtherNet/IP Network Quick Start, publication IASIMP-QS027
, you must
install and configure an EtherNet/IP network.
Completing all tasks that are described in this quick start can assist you when attempting to complete the tasks in some
other quick starts, such as publication IASIMP-QS027
.
