Studio 5000 Environment
This manual describes how to install, configure, and troubleshoot your
Compact I/O™ 1769-ASCII module. You must be able to use RSLogix™ software
and the Studio 5000 Logix Designer™ application to configure this module.
The 1769-ASCII module, a general-purpose two-channel ASCII interface,
provides a flexible network interface to a wide variety of RS-232, RS-485, and
RS-422 ASCII devices.
The 1769-ASCII module provides two independent channels of the ASCII
device interface to the 1769 Compact I/O system. Each serial channel is fully
isolated from the backplane and from each other.
Each channel provides three different media to interface with a serial device and
are automatically selected by making the correct connections to that channel's
9-pin D-sub connector. The actual media selected is transparent to the
1769-ASCII module.
You can use the 1769-ASCII module with the following controllers:
IMPORTANT
• CompactLogix 5370 L3 and L2
• 1769-L2x and 1769-L3x
• 1768-L4x
• MicroLogix™ 1500
The Studio 5000 Engineering and Design Environment combines engineering
and design elements into a common environment. The first element in the Studio
5000 environment is the Logix Designer application. The Logix Designer
application is the rebranding of RSLogix 5000 software and will continue to be
the product to program Logix5000™ controllers for discrete, process, batch,
motion, safety, and drive-based solutions.
The Studio 5000 environment is the foundation for the future of Rockwell
Automation® engineering design tools and capabilities. It is the one place for
design engineers to develop all of the elements of their control system.
You use RSLogix500™ software to configure the 1769-ASCII module with a
TIP
MicroLogix1500 controller.
