About This Publication
This quick start provides examples and procedures for 1768-L43 and 1768-L45
CompactLogix systems. It includes version 18 release updates for RSLogix 5000
programming software. These procedures cover many common user tasks, such as:
• connecting the controller to multiple devices including local and distributed I/O, drives,
Kinetix 6000 servo drives, and a PanelView Plus terminal.
• connecting and configuring EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, and serial networks using
CompactLogix systems.
• creating and monitoring controller programs.
The examples are designed to get devices installed and communicating with each other in the
simplest way possible. The programming examples are not complex, and offer easy solutions
to verify that devices are communicating properly.
The beginning of each chapter contains the following information. Read these sections
carefully before beginning work in each chapter.
• Before You Begin - This section lists the steps that must be completed and decisions

the current chapter. This includes, but is not limited to, hardware and software.
• Follow These Steps - This section illustrates the steps in the current chapter and
