How do I configure the HI 1756WS in a remote rack?

Last updated 09/28/2015 05:32 AM

Question

I have two HI 1756WS modules installed in a remote rack connected through ControlNet to the processor. What do I need to do to communicate and configure the modules? Do I need an EDS file for the module for the ControlNet RSNetworks?

Answer

When you set up the I/O configuration in RSLogix5000, you would include (in the I/O tree) the HI 1756-WS module under the path to the remote chassis. Once this is placed in the I/O configuration you can browse the ControlNet network and it will show up and operate normally. You may get a "?" for the icon of the module if you have not installed the EDS file. The EDS file for the HI 1756WS is attached to this answer.
