196 Configure POINT I/O Modules in RSLogix 5000 Software
Understanding Data and Connection Formats
For analog modules, the choices for data format and connection type are as
follows:
• Data Format: Integer
• Connection Type
– Data
– Listen only
– Listen only - rack optimization
– Rack optimization
When you change entries for Data Format and Connection Type, note the
following:
• You do not delete the existing module.
• You do not create a new module.
• You bring forward configuration data for the new settings.
• Any configuration data you do not bring forward sets to the default
value.
After you apply new settings for data format and connection, note the
following:
• This is the base configuration for the next change in connection and
data format settings.
• You lose all configuration data from previous data formats.
The choices for connection type for modules depend on the communication
type format for the parent adapter, as explained in the user manual for the
adapter.
