Rockwell Automation recognizes that some of the terms that are currently
used in our industry and in this publication are not in alignment with the
movement toward inclusive language in technology. We are proactively
collaborating with industry peers to find alternatives to such terms and
making changes to our products and content. Please excuse the use of such
terms in our content while we implement these changes.
This manual describes how to use your POINT I/O™ 1734-232ASC serial
interface module (for the RS-232 network) or 1734-485ASC and 1734-485ASCK
modules (for the RS-485 or RS-422 network) in Logix 5000® control systems.
Make sure that you are familiar with the following:
•
Use of a controller in a Logix 5000 control system
•
Use of an EtherNet/IP™ network, if the POINT I/O modules are
installed in a remote location from the controller that is accessible via
the EtherNet/IP network
•
Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application environment
IMPORTANT Remember the following when you use POINT I/O module:
• You can use POINT I/O modules directly with CompactLogix™ 5370
controllers. However, for all other CompactLogix and ControlLogix®
controllers you need to use a POINT I/O adapter.
• You must use the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application, version 17 or
later, to configure POINT I/O modules.
