Creating a new project


This section will guide you through the process of creating a new project in RSLogix 5000, and adding the 1756-MO8SE module to the I/O Configuration


  1. Open RSLogix 5000 software. If you do not have a shortcut on the desktop, the default location in the start menu is Start | Programs | Rockwell Software | RSLogix 5000 Enterprise Series | RSLogix 5000.




  1. Click File | New from the menu bar to create a new project as follows: Select your own processor type, project name, chassis type, and the slot number the controller resides in (in the local chassis). When you are finished press the OK button.




  1. Next, a motion module must be added to the I/O Configuration in the Controller Organizer window. Right click I/O Configuration at the bottom of the controller organizer window, and select 'New Module'.

  2. Next, select the catlog number of the motion module in the chassis. In this example, we are using the 1756-MO8SE module.


  3. Press the OK button at the bottom of the dialog box.


  4. Next, you must name the motion module, and select the slot number in the chassis the module resides in (Not necessarily 7).

  5. Press Next

  6. Since we do not desire to inhibit this module, press Next again.


  7. The baud rate can be left to AutoDetect, or it can be set equal to the baud rate of the fiber ring. The Ultra3000 has dials that determine the baud rate the drive will run at. The more axis you have, the slower the update time. The transmit power can be set to high or low. Choose your settings as shown below then press FINISH.
