Chapter

Configure the Adapter for Direct Connection

and Rack Optimization in RSLogix 5000

Software

Overview

This chapter guides you through the steps required to configure your AENTR

adapter with both direct and rack-optimized I/O connections using

RSLogix 5000 software.

You can mix I/O connection 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 adapter.

I/O modules controlled by a direct I/O connection communicate at their own set

RPI. The RPI of the rack-optimized I/O connection has no bearing on the direct

I/O connections. The modules presented in this chapter have a configuration

using RSLogix 5000 software, revision 11. The chapter contains the following

main sections
