5-22Configure the Adapter for Direct Connection and Rack Optimization in RSLogix 5000 Software

Use the controller tags in your ladder program to read input data or write output data.

For RSLogix 5000 programming instructions, refer to RSLogix 5000 Getting Results, publication 9399-RLD300GR.

For ControlLogix controller information, refer to ControlLogix System User Manual, publication 1756-UM001.

Slot Status Bits: The Slot Status bits display the connection status for each of the POINT I/O modules that use a rack-optimized connection.

Bit 0 is reserved for the adapter and always reports a value of 1.

Each of the other bits (1 to 63) correspond to a POINT I/O module that you install in the POINT I/O backplane.

In this example, we configured the 1734-AENT adapter for both rack-optimized and direct connections.

The slot status bits indicate that we installed the module in slot 2 with it operating correctly:

0=module participating with no errors and

1=module not participating or connection error (typically, module removed/missing)
