Configuring the IF4IH for
CompactLogix Using
RSLogix 5000
This chapter explains how to incorporate the IF4IH module into a CompactLogix system
using RSLogix 5000 programming software. The process of incorporating your HART
module into the CompactLogix system is similar to the process needed to add an Allen-
Bradley module. You will use your RSLogix 5000 programming software to install and
configure your HART module.
An Add-On profile is available on our website to ease the installation of the module, if
you choose not to use the generic module profile. The Add-On profile download also
includes an RSLogix 5000 sample project demonstrating how to read and write HART
data to and from each channel. The sample project contains user defined data types,
configuration tags, input tags, output tags, and ladder samples needed to configure each
HART module. The topics discussed in this chapter include:
•
Setting up the generic profile
•
Using the Add-On profile
•
Understanding user defined data types
•
Adding the controller and program tags
•
Using the provided ladder sample
The generic profile defines the module for the CompactBus, so that the right number of
input, output and configuration words are reserved. To configure the generic profile you
can use the profile already created in the sample project, see Figure 4-1, or follow the
procedures outlined below.
