Common Configuration Parameters

While the configuration options vary from module to module, there are some
common options you typically configure when using 1734 POINT I/O modules
in a CompactLogix 5370 L1 control system, as described in
Description
The RPI specifies the interval at which data is transmitted or received over a connection. For POINTBus backplane local expansion
modules, data is transmitted to the controller at the RPI.
When scanned on the local bus or over an EtherNet/IP network, I/O modules are scanned at the RPI specified in the module
configuration. Typically, you configure an RPI in milliseconds (ms).
• For local expansion modules, the range is 1.0...750 ms and the RPI must be configured in 0.5 ms increments. That is, you cannot set
the RPI to a value of 2.3 ms. It must be 2.0 or 2.5.
• For remote I/O modules over an EtherNet/IP network, the range is 2.0...750 ms and the RPI must be configured in 1.0 ms
increments. That is, you cannot set the RPI to a value of 2.3 ms. It must be 2.0 or 3.0.
Set of configuration parameters that affect data transmission between the controller and the I/O module. The parameters include the
following:
• Series - Hardware series of the module.
• Revision - Major and minor firmware revision levels that are used on the module.
• Electronic Keying - See LOGIX-AT001
• Connection - Type of connection between the controller that writes the configuration and the I/O module, such as Output.
• Data format - Type of data that is transferred between the controller and I/O module and what tags are generated when the
configuration is complete.
This option determines how the controller is affected if the connection to an I/O module fails in Run mode or if the controller is unable to
establish a connection to the module. You can configure the project so that a connection failure causes a major fault on the controller or
not. The default setting is for the option to be disabled.
For example, if this option is enabled and an I/O module is removed while in Run mode, a major fault occurs on the controller. The default
setting for the embedded I/O module is that this option is enabled. The default setting for local expansion modules is that this option is
disabled.

I/O Connections

A CompactLogix 5370 L1 control system uses connections to transmit I/O data.
Table 9 describes the connection types.
IMPORTANT
Rockwell Automation Publication 1769-UM021G-EN-P - October 2015
Use I/O Modules with CompactLogix 5370 L1 Controllers
for Electronic Keying information.
You can only use direct connections with the local expansion modules in a
CompactLogix 5370 L1 control system.
