Configure Your FLEX I/O Module with
RSLogix 5000 Software
This chapter describes how to configure the FLEX I/O Thermocouple, RTD, and mV module for the
ControlLogix® and CompactLogix™ system with the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application. The
1794-IRT8 module can communicate through different networks such as ControlNet, Ethernet,
PROFIBUS, among others. In the examples below, the Ethernet adapter is used for communication
between the Logix processor and the Flexbus.
ATTENTION:
• If using an SLC™ controller with ControlNet, see the associated I/O scanner
documentation.
• If using a PLC-5® controller, see the PLC-5 controller documentation for ControlNet
configuration information.
You must follow these series of steps to configure your FLEX I/O module in the Studio 5000 Logix
Designer.
1. Add and configure the new local bridge, such as 1756-ENBT, to your project. This user
manual assumes that you have properly configured this module. See the associated
documentation.
2. Add and configure the new adapter, such as a 1794-AENT FLEX I/O EtherNet/IP adapter. This
user manual assumes that you have properly configured this module. See the associated
documentation.
3. Add and configure your FLEX I/O module as shown in
Module.
4. Download the configuration to the controller.
In order to add your FLEX I/O Thermocouple, RTD, mV module, you should have added and
