Appendix A - Adding a Radio to RSLogix 5000
You can use an
Add-On Instruction
(AOI) to add an RLX2-IHx series radio to RSLogix
5000™. You can then extract information from the radio and transfer it to the
ControlLogix processor connected by EtherNet/IP™. This allows you to view and use the
radio status and diagnostic information in the program on the controller.
Note: You must download the RLX2-IHx series radio Add-On Instruction from the ProSoft Technology
website. Go to
and search for your radio. From the RLX2-IHx series radio
webpage, download the Add-On Instruction.
There are two procedures that you must complete in order to import and use the RLX2-
IHx series Add-On Instruction in RSLogix 5000.
1
Add the RLX2-IHx series radio to a project in RSLogix 5000.
2
Import the AOI into the MainRoutine ladder logic in the same project.
