1.2 RSLinx Classic
RSLogix 5000 uses RSLinx Classic to set up the communication path with the controller and any
other devices. Because of this, the communication path must be first set up in RSLinx Classic before
we can work in RSLogix 5000. To do this, use the following steps:
1) Open RSLinx Classic.
2) Once opened select Communications and then Configure Drivers (Figure 1).
Figure 1: RSLinx Classic configure drivers
3) Here is where new and old drivers can be added or deleted as necessary.
4) To add a new driver, select the communication type (typically Ethernet/IP) and then select
Add New.
5) Add a name if desired and click OK. Then it is going to ask for the proper Network connection
(Figure 2). Make sure to select the connection that you have already configured with the
proper IP address.
