Configuring Expansion
I/O Using RSLogix 500
Expansion I/O must be configured for use with the controller. Configuring
expansion I/O can be done either manually, or automatically. Using
RSLogix 500:
1. Open the “Controller” folder.
2. Open the “I/O Configuration” folder.
3. For manual configuration, drag the Compact I/O module to the slot.
For automatic configuration, you must have the controller connected
to the computer (either directly or over a network). Click the “Read
I/O Config” button on the I/O configuration screen. RSLogix 500 will
read the existing configuration of the controller’s I/O.
Some I/O modules support or require configuration. To configure a
specific module, double-click on the module, an I/O configuration screen
will open that is specific to the module.
