Configure the Adapter for Direct Connection
and Rack Optimization in RSLogix 5000
Software
What This Chapter Contains
This chapter guides you through the steps required to configure your
POINT I/O Ethernet adapter for both direct connection and rack
optimization using RSLogix 5000 software.
You can mix communication formats for different I/O modules
communicating through the same adapter. I/O modules set up to use rack
optimization communicate at the rate of the RPI configured for the
1734-AENT adapter.
I/O modules configured for direct communication communicate at their own
set RPI and ignore the 1734-AENT adapter RPI. The modules presented in
this chapter have a configuration using RSLogix 5000 software, version 15.
