Update: You can find the next part of the Learn Logix series, How to Use Ethernet Drivers with RSLinx Classic, here. If you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe to the mailing list below to be notified when the next part is available. In the next part of the series, we will learn how to connect to a Logix 5000 system using EtherNet/IP communication drivers. In this article, we learned how to connect to a Logix 5000 system using RSLinx Classic and a USB communication driver. We’ll learn how to work with EtherNet/IP drivers in the next lesson. To use the USB driver, you need direct access to the controller which is not always possible.įor permanent or remote connections, you need to use an EtherNet/IP connection to the controller or communications module. This is designed to be a temporary connection between a computer and a controller. The USB driver creates a point-to-point connection to a controller. Port Configuration Disadvantages of USB Drivers Once connected, a USB driver is automatically created in RSLinx Classic With RSLinx Classic open, connect your computer to a controller or communications module using a USB cable. This connection is a temporary point-to-point connection, it is not intended to create a permanent connection between a computer and a Logix 5000 system.

The USB driver and virtual backplane are automatically created in RSLinx classic when you connect your computer to a Logix 5000 controller or communications module using a USB cable.

Of the three driver types, USB drivers are the easiest to understand and work with. There are three main driver types used to communicate with a Logix 5000 controller. In this part of the series, we’ll learn how to use USB drivers to connect to a Logix 5000 system through RSLinx Classic. In the last part of the series, we got an introduction to RSLinx Classic, the software tool used to configure communication drivers with a Logix 5000 system. Learn Logix is a series of articles designed to teach you everything you need to know to work with Rockwell Automation’s Studio 5000 Logix Designer and the Logix 5000 series of PLCs.
