Chapter 6 Configuring the 842 E Encoder Using RSLogix 5000®
Configuring the Encoder
You must configure your encoder upon installation. The encoder does not
work until it has been configured with at least the default configuration.
RSLogix 5000 Configuration Software
You must use RSLogix 5000, version 18 or later to set configuration for your
encoder. The instructions in this chapter use version 20.
There is an option to accept the default configuration for your encoder or to
write point level configuration specific to your application. Both options are
explained in detail, including views of software screens, in this chapter.
Checking the Integration in EtherNet/IP Via RSLinx® Classic
With the aid of the tool RSLinx® Classic, you can again check whether the IP
address set detects the control system.
The EDS file (electronic data sheet) contains all information that is related to
the parameters and the operating modes of the EtherNet/IP encoder (go to
www.rockwellautomation.com/resources/eds/
and search on “842E,” also see
The Electronic Data Sheet File
on page 13). Use the EDS hardware installation
tool in the tools menu of RSLinx Classic software to register the EDS file.
1. Start RSLinx Classic (as a rule on the Start menu on your PC/notebook
in Rockwell Software®, RSLinx, RSLinx Classic).
2. Click the RSWho button in the program.
