Chapter 7 Configure and Replace Safety Modules
Before You Begin
You must complete the following tasks before you can configure the module:
1. Create a Logix Designer application project.
2. If you use the FLEX 5000 safety I/O modules as remote I/O modules, add
a FLEX 5000 I/O EtherNet/IP adapter to the project.
For more information on how to add a FLEX 5000 I/O EtherNet/IP
adapter to a Logix Designer application project, see the EtherNet/IP
Communication Modules in 5000 Series Systems User Manual,
publication ENET-UM004
.
Once the project is created and, if necessary, the adapter is added, you can create a
new module in the Logix Designer application project.
Create a New Module
Unlike FLEX 5000 standard I/O modules, you cannot add FLEX 5000 safety
I/O modules to a Logix Designer project while the project is online. The project
must be offline to add FLEX 5000 safety I/O modules to it.
You can create a new FLEX 5000 safety I/O module. I/O modules are installed
in a system that includes a FLEX 5000 I/O EtherNet/IP adapter that connects to
an EtherNet/IP network.
New I/O Module
To create a new FLEX 5000 safety I/O module, complete these steps.
1. Add a FLEX 5000 I/O EtherNet/IP adapter to the project.
This example uses a 5094-AENTR or 5094-AEN2TR adapter.
2. Right-click the FLEX 5000 I/O EtherNet/IP adapter and choose
New Module.
