Add Distributed Point I/O Modules to the Project
Introduction
In this chapter, you add distributed POINT I/O modules to your RSLogix 5000 project. You
also add ladder logic and download the project to the controller so you can test
communication with an I/O module. This project was created in Chapter 9
.
Before You Begin
• Assemble the CompactLogix hardware (Chapter 1).
• Prepare the computer (Chapter 2
).
• Prepare the POINT I/O hardware (Chapter 3
).
• Configure your network (Chapter 7
or 8)
• Create a project in RSLogix 5000 software (Chapter 9
).
What You Need
• POINT I/O modules needed for your application. This example uses a 1734-OB4E
module.
• For a DeviceNet network (option 2), RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.
• For an EtherNet/IP network (option 1), no additional software is required.
