CompactLogix/RSLogix5000
(OP)
Hello,
I´m new at this forum and I´ve a question about RSLogix5000
and the CompactLogix - Controller.
I´ve allready programmed a SLC5/03 with RSLogix500 but this
controller/software is complete new for me.
I´ve allready checked the homepage of rockwell-automation
but have nothing found for my main problems which are
-) how is the communication over the ethernet for example
to other IO´s programmed in the RSLogix.
-) also I need to know how i have to program the
communication over profibus
It will be great if you know where to find some informations
or programm samples.
Thanx

It is publication 1756-PM001H-EN-P, and can be found here:
http://www.theautomationbookstore.com
Ethernet communication is setup by first building the I/O configuration in the controller organizer window, of RSLogix.
If for example, you were setting up a remote I/O rack, you would first insert the ethernet module in the local rack configuration, add then add the ethernet module for the remote rack as a new module under the local module.
The remote I/O modules are then added under the remote ethernet module.
After the ethernet modules have been inserted you can edit the module properties to assign IP addresses.
RE: CompactLogix/RSLogix5000
i´m inserting my controller (1769-L30 - a 1769-L32E for
real) and then proceed with configurating the IO.
But when i want to add a module i can only choose 1769 -
modules. But my ethernet module is a 1734-AENT.
Do i have to update my RSL5k or something like that to
get that option?
RE: CompactLogix/RSLogix5000
If you need to use 1756 modules for example, then you have to add another 'remote' rack by adding a 1756-ENBT under the 1769-L32E Ethernet port.
RE: CompactLogix/RSLogix5000
-) 1769-L32E Controller at the local rack with 1769 -
IO - modules
-) 1734-AENT modules at the ethernet port
... but i can´t add 1734-IB8´s / 1734-OB8´s to the
1734-AENT´s at the ethernet-port because i can´t
choose them when i´m going into the "add new module-
dialog"
Maybe this happens because i have a version of RSLogix5k
that is to old for this modules???
My actual version is V13.00.00

RE: CompactLogix/RSLogix5000
I tried a configuration using v13 and they are not on the list of modules to choose from.
I then tried it using v15, and they are on the list, so evidently, as you said, v13 doesn't support those modules.
Perhaps an upgrade to v15 is in your future. Otherwise it looks like you will have to use IB4's.
