After selecting the correct Connection Type and Device Type, match the remaining settings to the target I/O device’s communication settings.

ControlLogix/CompactLogix

• Open RSLogix/Studio 5000.

• Click [Controller Tags] → [New Tag…].

• Setup Tag Name and Data Type in [New Tag…].

• Write any tag names.

The next steps are for PCCC communication. If you would like to use tag-based addressing, please skip the next three steps and resume with setting an IP address.

• Click [Logic] → [Map PLC/SLC Messages].

• Make mapping File Number and Name in PLC2,3,5 / SLC Mapping.

• File Number is set according to the address table.

• Set up an IP address at RSLogix/Studio 5000 or RSLinx.

All communication parameters must match the settings chosen during the I/O device configuration in Canvas. Once the correct parameters have been entered, click Write while online with the PLC to update the communication parameters.

MicroLogix

• Run RSLogix 500.

• Select [Comms] → [Upload…] from the menu, and upload a project.

• Double-click on [Channel Configuration] from the project window to open the ‘Channel Configuration’ window.

• Go to the [Chan.1 - System] tab in the ‘Channel Configuration’ window.
