Configuring the I/O
Creating RSLogix 5 Project, Version 7.00 or Later
To transmit (read and write) data between the controller and drive, you must
create message instructions that allocate data table addresses in the controller for
Logic Command/Status, Reference/Feedback, and Datalinks. Note that three
messages need to be configured. The timeout message has to be executed first
before the Logic Command, Reference, and DL To/From Net Datalink messages
will work. For more information on N42:3 and N45 target device data table
addresses, see N-Files on page 89.
