11-2 Communicating with Devices on a Third-Party Link
Step 1: Install the hardware
Before you can connect the DriveLogix system to the third-party network, you
must configure the 1788-MODULE communication card and make sure it is
properly installed in the DriveLogix controller. Refer to Access Procedures on
page C-1 to understand how to gain access to the NetLinx daughtercard slot
on the DriveLogix controller.
Remember which slot you use for which communication card. You’ll need the
slot number to configure the communication card in the RSLogix 5000
programming software. The controller uses slot 0.
Step 2: Configure the daughtercard as part of the system
Use RSLogix 5000 programming software to map the 1788-MODULE card as
part of the DriveLogix system. In the Controller Organizer, add the card to the
I/O Configuration folder.
