Configure the Adapter for Direct Connection
and Rack Optimization in RSLogix 5000
Software
Overview
.This chapter guides you through the steps required to configure your
1738 ArmorPOINT I/O Ethernet Adapter for both direct connection and rack
optimization using RSLogix 5000 software.
It is possible to mix communication formats for different I/O modules
communicating through the same adapter. I/O modules set up to use rack
optimization communicate at the rate of the RPI configured for the
1738-AENT/B adapter. I/O modules configured for direct communication
communicate at their own set RPIs and ignore the 1738-AENT/B adapter’s RPI.
Note that the modules presented in this chapter are configured using RSLogix
5000 software, version 17. The chapter contains the following main sections
