Communications

Reserve 20% or more of the controller's memory to accommodate

communications and changes in future Logix controller firmware releases.
Use rack optimized communication formats for digital I/O modules to
minimize amount of controller memory and communications overhead
associated with these modules.
Use the CPS instruction to provide buffering of communications and I/O data
to minimize impact of asynchronous data arrival.
On download, if the ControlNet schedule stored in the offline RSLogix 5000
project file is old, RSLogix 5000 will retrieve the latest ControlNet
schedule from the associated RSNetWorx project file. To make an
association to an RSNetWorx project file, use the RSNetWorx tab in the
Module Properties dialog of the ControlNet scanner.
When working with multiple controller projects in different chassis, use
RSLinx shortcuts to identify those chassis with meaningful names.
