Step 2. Using an "EMPTY.RSS" Project to Initialize a SLC 5/0x Processor
Step 3 can be used to initialize a SLC 5/0x Processor with a checksum fault. A
checksum fault is normally encountered only when a brand new SLC 500 processor is
first fitted with the backup battery and powered up for the first time. If clearing a
checksum fault, load the "null" project "EMPTY.RSS".
Note that "EMPTY.RSS" expects to find only a SLC 5/0x processor in the rack. Making
sure that the power is removed first, unplug the 1747-SDN Scanner and any modular I/O
present before restoring power. Then follow the next steps substituting the project name
"EMPTY.RSS" for the project name "FIRST.RSS".
Step 3. Using a "FIRST.RSS" Project to Confirm DeviceNet Network
The next task is to go online and determine what is in the SLC 500 processor and a few
details regarding the SLC 500 configuration. The RSLogix 500 project "First.rss" will
then be opened, edited (if necessary) and then be downloaded to the SLC 500
Processor and run to verify the SLC Processor to 1747-SDN to drive DeviceNet
communication.
At the end of Step 4, configuration of communication between the Configuration PC and
the SLC 500 was completed. The next step is to go "online" to what should be an
"empty" SLC processor.
