Quick Start

Getting Started with ProcessLogix R500.1

This Quick Start describes the tasks you need to become familiar with the ProcessLogix™

system, including:

• starting the software

• creating a controller

• configuring I/O modules

• assigning modules to a Control Execution Environment (CEE)

• creating a PID Loop

– creating a Control Module (CM)

– assigning the CM to the CEE

– building the PID loop

– wiring the blocks

– configuring parameters

– entering alarms

– downloading the CM to the 1757-PLX52

– changing the CEE from inactive to active

– verifying proper operation

• viewing pre-built screens

The tasks described in this Quick Start represent a sample program. This program is not

intended for actual process control applications. All modules configured in this Quick Start

should not be loaded to the controller unless they are in your chassis. After you have

completed the tasks in this sample program, you can use the sample to guide you as you

program your own process control application.

As you complete the tasks in this Quick Start, always use the ProcessLogix parameter naming

conventions so that the pre-built screens provided with the ProcessLogix system work

correctly.

IMPORTANT

The ProcessLogix R500.1 Server runs on Microsoft Windows 2000®

Server.

Getting Started with ProcessLogix R500.1 3. Click OK to close the CPM Parameters dialog box. 4. To see your newly configured CPM and CEE, click the Project tab. TIP To see the CPM and CEE, you may need to expand the Root branch of your tree by clicking the small “+” sign to the left of the word Root. The CEE is listed under the CPM and is connected directly to it. This tells you that the CEE is assigned to the CPM. 5. Double-click the CEE. 6. Enter CEE0101 in the Name field. 7.
