Configure the Controller
Create a Controller Project
To configure and program your controller, use RSLogix 5000 software to create
and manage a project for the controller.
1. Create a project in RSLogix 5000 software by clicking the New button on
the main toolbar.
2. From the Type pull-down menu, choose a Compact GuardLogix
controller:
• 1768-L43S CompactLogix5343S Safety Controller
• 1768-L45S CompactLogix5345S Safety Controller
3. Enter the major revision of firmware for the controller.
4. Type a name for the controller.
When you create a project, the project name is the same as the name of the
controller. However, you can rename either the project or the controller.
