Once the PLX51-DL-232 has been added to the RSLogix 5000 IO tree, assign the 

User Defined Types (UDTs) to the input and output assemblies. You can import the 

required UDTs by right-clicking on the 

User-Defined

 sub-folder in the 

Data Types

 

folder and selecting 

Import Data Type

. The assemblies are then assigned to the 

UDTs with a ladder copy instruction (COP).

4.2  Importing UDT’s and Mapping Routines 

To simplify the mapping of the input image, an RSLogix 5000 Routine Partial Import 

(.L5X) file is provided.  

Right-click on the required Program and select the 

Import Routine

 option.
