Configure the Adapter for Direct Connection and Rack Optimization in RSLogix 5000 Software

What This Chapter Contains This chapter guides you through the steps required to configure your 1734 POINT I/O Ethernet adapter for both direct connection and rack

optimization using RSLogix 5000 software.

You can 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 1734-AENT adapter.

I/O modules configured for direct communication communicate at their own set RPI and ignore the 1734-AENT adapter RPI. The modules presented in this chapter have a configuration using RSLogix 5000 software, version 15. The chapter contains the following main sections:
