Add Distributed I/O Modules to the Project
In this chapter, you add distributed POINT I/O modules to your project using RSLogix 5000
programming software. You also add ladder logic and download the project to the controller
so you can test communication with an I/O module. This project builds upon the program
created in Chapter 10
.
Before You Begin
• Prepare the POINT I/O hardware, see Chapter 3
• Create a project in RSLogix 5000 programming software, see Chapter 10
What You Need
• A POINT I/O module with digital outputs, this example uses a 1734-OB4E
• This example includes the following modules as well, but they are not required:
1734-IB4, 1734-OE2C
• For an EtherNet/IP network, no additional software is required
• For a ControlNet network, RSNetWorx for ControlNet software
• For a DeviceNet network, RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software
