The SoftLogix5800 controller is a soft control solution that runs in a
Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP environment. When
using this controller, you must install the SoftLogix5800 Chassis monitor–a
virtual chassis that takes the place of hardware chassis used with other
Logix5000 controllers.
Before you can connect the SoftLogix system to the ControlNet network, you
must create the 1784-PCIC, 1784-PCICS or 1784-PKTCS card as part of the
SoftLogix chassis.
You can use only the 1784-PCIC, 1784-PCICS, or
IMPORTANT
1784-PKTCS cards to connect a SoftLogix controller to
ControlNet.
1. In the SoftLogix chassis monitor, create a New Module.
2. Select the 1784-PCIC, 1784-PCICS or 1784-PKTCS card.
3. Select the serial number of the ControlNet card you want.
If you previously configured the card that you selected by serial number,
the chassis monitor remembers the configuration from the last time you
used the card (whether in the same or different slot).
