Configure the Adapter for Direct Connection,
Rack Optimization, and Enhanced Rack
Optimization in RSLogix 5000 or Logix
Designer Software
Overview
This chapter guides you through the steps required to configure your AENT
adapter with direct, rack-optimization, and enhanced rack-optimization I/O
connections using RSLogix 5000 or Logix Designer
(1)
software.
You can mix I/O connection formats for different I/O modules communicating
through the same adapter. I/O modules set up to use rack optimization or
enhanced rack optimization communicate at the rate of the RPI configured for
the adapter.
I/O modules controlled by a direct I/O connection communicate at their own set
RPI. The RPI of the rack-optimization or enhanced rack-optimization I/O
connection has no bearing on the direct I/O connections. The modules
presented in this chapter have a configuration using RSLogix 5000 software,
version 17 or later. The chapter contains the following main sections
.
(1) From version 21 onwards, RSLogix 5000 is known as Logix Designer.
