Configure the Consumer
Logix5550 Controller
PLC-5C to Logix5550 Controller: Scheduled Communications
In order to test the application you must configure the Logix 5550 controller
as a consumer, add the producer to the I/O configuration of the consumer,
and create a consumed tag to receive the data.
Perform the following steps to create the consumer:
1. Open the RSLogix5000 software.
2. From the File menu, select New. The New Controller window will
appear.
3. Enter an appropriate Name for the Controller (e.g.,
"Consumer_from_PLC5").
4. Select the correct Chassis Type and Slot Number of the Logix5550
controller, and the folder where you want to save the file (Create In).
Then click on OK.
You will now add the producer PLC-5C to the consumer's I/O
configuration. This involves several steps. First, you must add the
consumer's local 1756-CNB module to its I/O configuration. Then you add
the PLC-5C as a "child" of the local 1756-CNB module.
