Appendix B Communicate with Devices on a ControlNet Network
The Select Device dialog box appears.
5. Select the serial number of the 1784-PCICS card you want.
If you previously configured the 1784-PCICS card that you selected by
serial number, the chassis monitor remembers the configuration from the
last time you used the card (whether in the same slot or not).
6. Click Next.
The General dialog box appears.
7. In the General dialog box, specify the configuration settings for the
1784 PCICS card. Specify the network node address on the
ControlNet network.
8. Enter the label name for the card (this is the name you wrote on the label of
the card to help you identify the card from others on the same computer).
9. Click Finish.
For RSLogix 5000 software, version 20.00.00 or later, you can specify any
slot number for the communication card, as long as the RSLinx software
module is positioned in a slot other than its default 0. See page 29
.
By creating the card in the virtual chassis, you automatically install the
communication driver information needed by the SoftLogix controller.
Do not use RSLinx software to install the communication driver for
either the 1784-PCICS or 1784-PCIC communication card. Installing the
communication driver through RSLinx software adds the potential for
conflicting configuration between RSLinx software and the
SoftLogix Chassis Monitor.
