ControlLogix 5590 Controller User Manual

Manage Controller I/O Connections

Rockwell Automation offers many I/O modules for use in

ControlLogix®

controller systems. When you select I/O modules, remember the following:

A wide variety of digital, analog, and specialty I/O modules support the following features:

Field-side diagnostics

Electronic fusing

Individually isolated inputs/outputs

Timestamping of inputs

Scheduling of outputs

Event detection of specific input patterns

Safety features that are TÜV certified up to SIL 3, PLe, Cat. 4

Removable terminal blocks (RTBs) or 1492 wiring systems are required for I/O modules.

1492

PanelConnect™

modules and cables can be used to connect input modules to sensors.

When you add a safety I/O device to the system, define a configuration for the device:

IP address for

EtherNet/IP™

networks.

Safety network number (SNN).

Configuration signature.

Reaction time limit.

IMPORTANT:

You cannot add safety I/O devices while online with the controller.

For instructions about how to add I/O to the I/O configuration in a controller project, see the user manual for your I/O device.

Add to the I/O Configuration While Online

You can add I/O and other devices to the controller configuration while you are online, and the controller switch is in either the REM or PROG positions.

IMPORTANT:

To add I/O modules when the controller is online, the controller switch must be in the REM or PROG position. The I/O modules must already be installed in the system. You cannot install the I/O modules when the system is powered.

The modules and devices you can add while online depends on the version of the software you are using. Later versions have more modules and devices that can be added while online.

Add-on Profiles (AOP) for modules are made available between releases of different Logix Designer application versions. There are cases in which, after you download and install the AOP file for a module, you can add the module to a project while online.

To see a list of the available AOP files, go to: https://download.rockwellautomation.com/esd/download.aspx?downloadid=addonprofiles

You can add modules and devices to the local or remote chassis via an

EtherNet/IP™

network.

For more information about adding to the I/O Configuration while online, see the Logix 5000 Controllers Design Considerations Reference Manual, publication 1756-RM094.
