Appendix B
Module Addressing and Configuration with MicroLogix 1500 Controller
Module Configuration File
The configuration file contains information that you use to define the
way a specific channel functions. The configuration file is explained in
more detail in Chapter 3.
The configuration file is modified using the programming software
configuration screen.
For an example of module configuration using RSLogix 500 software,
see Configure Analog I/O Modules in a MicroLogix 1500 System.
TIP
The RSLogix 500 configuration default is to disable
each analog input channel. For improved analog
input module performance, disable any unused
channels.

This example takes you through configuring your 1769 16-point
analog input modules with RSLogix 500 programming software. This
application example assumes your input modules are installed as
expansion I/O in a MicroLogix 1500 system, and that RSLinx software
is properly configured and a communication link has been established
between the MicroLogix controller and RSLogix 500 software.
