Select the Generic Ethernet Module and press the “Create” button.
Assign the IP, and set up the Input and Output assemblies. The Input size will be the
value as determined in section 3.1 above. There is no configuration assembly, but a
value is required, so any instance with a size of zero is acceptable. Using SINT as the
format will create a controller tag as an array of bytes for the Input and Output data.
Repeat the above for each device you wish to connect to.
Formatting I/O Data
After creating your module in RSLogix, Controller Tags will be automatically created
with the name <Module>:I and <Module>:O for input and output data respectively.
These will both default to arrays of SINT values, but the input and output data are
composed of mixed data types.
