Configuring a ControlLogix module

In this exercise, we will learn to add a ControlLogix module to a Logix project and look at a typical module configuration by performing these steps:

1. First, we will need to open RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 Logix Designer. Create a new project, and select a ControlLogix controller (in my case, I selected 1756-L73 on Slot #0). This process varies between versions of the Logix, so I will not show these steps in detail.
2. Next, we will add the module by right-clicking on the Controller Organizer pane's IO Configuration tree, and selecting New Module…, as shown in the following screenshot:
   
3. Now, we can select the module we wish to configure. For our example, it will be a digital input module, 1756-IB16D 16 Point 10V-30V DC Diagnostic Input. The Select Module Type window varies from version to version of Logix, but regardless of the software, it is relatively easy to locate our module.
   
4. Next, we will configure the module by providing these inputs:
