3.9 Logix Integration
The Hart 4 modules can be easily integrated with Allen-Bradley Logix family of
controllers. The module must be added using a Generic Profile which is described
below.
3.9.1 Add Module to I/O Configuration
The module must be added to the RSLogix 5000 I/O tree as a generic Ethernet
module. This is achieved by right clicking on the Ethernet Bridge in the RSLogix 5000
and selecting
New Module
after which the
ETHERNET-MODULE
is selected to be
added as shown in the figure below.
Note
: See the next section for importing the configuration (L5X).

Important:
The module configuration for the PLX51-HART-4I and PLX51-HART-4O modules are
NOT
identical.
The user must enter the IP address of the module that will be used. The assembly
instance and size must also be added for the input, output, and configuration in the
connection parameters section. The required connection parameters for the PLX51-
HART-4I module are shown below:
