Preface
This quick start describes how to use CompactLogix 5370 L3 controllers to install a simple
CompactLogix 5370 L3 control system and execute a task with a local 1769 Compact I/O
output module. The programming examples included are not complex, and offer solutions to
verify that devices are functioning and communicating properly.
The following topics are described in this quick start:
•
Installing hardware for a basic CompactLogix 5370 L3 control system
•
Installing software required for the basic CompactLogix 5370 L3 control system
•
Installing and configuring an EtherNet/IP network and a DeviceNet network
•
Creating a software project
IMPORTANT
Consider the following points:
•
A typical CompactLogix 5370 L3 control system includes more components than listed in this quick start. For
example, you can use 1734 POINT I/O modules over an EtherNet/IP network in a CompactLogix 5370 L3 control
system. Other quick starts describe how to use additional components with your control system.
For a list of quick starts describing how to use other components in Logix5000™ control systems, see
Integrate Optional Devices on page 12
.
•
Not all tasks described in this quick start are required to complete the final task, that is, use ladder logic to test a
1769-OB16 output module as described beginning on
. For example, you do not need a DeviceNet
configuration file to test the module.
We expect that you might attempt to complete additional tasks with your control system by using the publications
listed on
. When you use those publications, some assumptions are made. For example, if you use a
PanelView Plus terminal over an EtherNet/IP network in a CompactLogix 5370 L3 control system, you must have
already created project and assigned an IP address to the controller.
If you complete all of the tasks described in this quick start, you can easily complete the tasks described in the
publications listed on
