4-6 Logix5550 to Logix5550 Controller: Scheduled Communication
5. Put the controller in Run mode.
6. Minimize RSLogix5000.
Configure the Consumer
Logix5550 Controller
In order to test the application you have to create a consumer controller, add
the producer controller to the I/O configuration of the consumer controller,
and create a consumed tag to receive the data.
Perform the following steps to create the consumer controller:
1. Start another session of RSLogix5000.
2. From the File menu, select New.
The New Controller window will appear.
3. Enter an appropriate Name for the Controller, e.g., “Consumer.”
4. Select the correct Chassis Type and Slot Number of the Logix5550
controller, and the folder where you want to save the file (Create In).
Then click on OK.
Add the Producer to the I/O Configuration of the Consumer
Adding the producer to the I/O configuration of the consumer controller
involves several steps. First, you must add the consumer’s local 1756-CNB
module to its I/O configuration. Then you add the remote 1756-CNB as a
“child” of the local 1756-CNB module. Finally, you add the producer
controller as a child of the remote 1756-CNB module.
