Installing and Configuring Your ControlNet PLC-5 Backup System 3-7
Create and Download the Project for the Second PLC Processor
The next step in configuring your system is to duplicate the
fully-configured project from the first processor and apply it to the
second processor.
Important: You must keep the ControlNet configuration you create
for the second processor, since it is not completely identical to that of
the first processor.
1. In RSLogix 5, open the project associated with the first processor
offline.
2. From the File menu, choose Save As, and save the project under a
new name to be associated with the second processor.
3. From the Comms menu, choose System Comms and change the
processor node value from the current standalone processor to the
other processor of the odd-even pair (e.g., if the standalone
processor was processor 1, change the value from 1 to 2.)
4. From the Comms menu, choose Download to download the
project to the new processor.
5. When prompted to decide whether you wish to keep the existing
ControlNet configuration, choose Yes.
Note: This is not the default option.
6. Go online with the new processor.
7. From the File menu, choose Save to save the project.
The QUAL LED on both processors should now be yellow, and
you have a fully qualified backup system. If desired, you can
now go to Run mode.
Configuring With Differing Applications
This section assumes that:
• you intend for the secondary controller in your backup system to
run a different application than the primary
• you have already developed separate control applications for the
primary and secondary processors
• the control applications are loaded onto their respective
processors
• both processors are powered on, are in Program mode, and are
physically connected to the ControlNet network
• you have not yet configured these processors to function within a
backup system
