Use I/O Modules Chapter 7
Add Local I/O Modules to a Project
Before you can add local I/O modules to a Logix Designer application project,
you must open an existing project or create a project. For information on how
to create a project, see
Create a Logix Designer Application Project on page 79.
There are two methods to add local I/O modules to the project:
•
Discover Modules
•
New Module
Discover Modules
To use Discover Modules to add a local I/O module, complete the following
steps.
1. Go online with your Logix Designer application.
2. Right-click 5069 Backplane and choose Discover Modules.
The Logix Designer application automatically detects available modules
that are installed in the system.
TIP The Discover Modules method is especially useful if the project can be online
with the hardware.
The New Module is used if the project is created without access to the
installed and powered hardware.
