Question
How to Configure and Enable a Ring Supervisor in RSLinx Classic Software?
Answer
Depending on the module’s firmware revision, you must use a specific RSLinx software version to configure
and enable the module with RSLinx Classic software.
For more information on module firmware revisions and required RSLinx Classic software versions, go to
Flash Firmware Updates (http://support.rockwellautomation.com/ControlFlash/) web page to look at the
Release notes.
To configure and enable a Ring Supervisor in RSLinx Classic software, follow these steps.
1. Launch RSLinx software.
2. Browse to the DLR network that you are setting up.
TIP: If you do not have the Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) file installed on the module configured to be
the ring supervisor, it will appear with a question mark (?).
You can use these methods to obtain and use the EDS file:
– Rightclick the module and choose to upload the EDS file from the device (if available)
– Download the appropriate EDS file from: Tools & Resources EDS Files
(http://www.rockwellautomation.com/resources/eds/)
3. Access the Supervisorcapable node’s Properties.
4. Rightclick the node and choose Module Configuration.
