PREREQUISITES
You should have reviewed and understood publication ConveyLinx-Ai2 PLC Developer’s Guide (Insight Automation
publication ERSC-1500) before utilizing this manual’s instructions to physically connect your Rockwell PLC to a
ConveyLinx network.
This manual also assumes you have a solid working knowledge of both Rockwell PLC’s and the RSLogix 5000 / RSLogix
Designer development environments.
NOT INCLUDED IN THIS MANUAL

ConveyLinx module connections desired. Please refer to
specifications.
This manual is for ConveyLinx-Ai2 modules only. For information on how to connect
ConveyLinx ERSC modules please see publication Connecting ConveyLinx-Ai2 to Rockwell
