Configure the Module
ControlLogix Overview
Before configuring your module in a local or remote chassis, you must have an
understanding of how the module operates with the controller in the
ControlLogix system. Every module must be owned by a Logix5000 controller.
This owner-controller stores configuration data for every module that it owns.
The owner-controller sends configuration data to the modules it owns when the
module powers up or during a controller-initiated reconfiguration. Adding the
module to the I/O configuration tree in the RSLogix 5000 software creates
configuration and I/O data structures and tags for the module.
Figure 14 on page 42
shows how the module communicates with its owner-
controller.
