Chapter

Configure the 1734-AENT for Direct

Connection and Rack Optimization

in RSLogix 5000

What’s in This Chapter

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. You can mix communication formats for

different I/O modules communicating through the same adapter. I/O

modules set up to use rack optimization will communicate at the rate of the

RPI configured for the 1734-AENT adapter. I/O modules configured for

direct communication will communicate at their own set RPIs and ignore the

1734-AENT adapter’s RPI. Note that the modules presented in this chapter

are configured using RSLogix 5000, version 11. The chapter contains the

following main sections:
