Preface
IMPORTANT
This quick start describes how to use CompactLogix 5370 L1 controllers to install a simple
CompactLogix 5370 L1 control system and execute a task with a local 1734 POINT I/O output
module. The programming examples included are not complex, and offer solutions to verify that
devices are functioning and communicating properly.
Consider the following points:
• A typical CompactLogix 5370 L1 control system includes more components than listed in this quick start. For
example, you can use 1734 POINT I/O modules over an EtherNet/IP network in a CompactLogix 5370 L1 control
system. Other quick starts describe how to use additional components with your control system.
For a list of quick starts describing how to use other components in Logix5000™ control systems, see Choose to
Integrate Optional Devices on page 12.
• Not all tasks described in this quick start are required to complete the final task, that is, use ladder logic to test a
1769-OB16 output module as described beginning on page 51. For example, you do not need a DeviceNet
configuration file to test the module.
We expect that you might attempt to complete additional tasks with your control system by using the publications
listed on page 12. When you use those publications, some assumptions are made. For example, if you use a
PanelView Plus terminal over an EtherNet/IP network in a CompactLogix 5370 L3 control system, you must have
already created project and assigned an IP address to the controller.
If you complete all of the tasks described in this quick start, you can easily complete the tasks described in the
publications listed on page 12.
The following topics are described in this quick start:
• Installing hardware for a basic CompactLogix 5370 L1 control system
• Installing software required for the basic CompactLogix 5370 L1 control system
Rockwell Automation Publication IASIMP-QS024B-EN-P - December 2012 9
Preface
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
• Configuring an EtherNet/IP network
You are not required to install nor configure an EtherNet/IP network to complete the tasks described in this quick
start. However, before you can complete the tasks described in some of the publications listed on page 12, you
must first install an EtherNet/IP network.
For example, Chapter 4, on Create a Logix Designer Project on page 51 describes how to use ladder logic to test a
1734-OB4E output module. The test is completed by using the output module in a local expansion slot in the
CompactLogix 5370 L1 control system and does not require use of a 1783-EMS08T Stratix 6000 managed switch
because it can be done via a USB connection to the controller.
If you use 1734 POINT I/O modules over an EtherNet/IP network in your CompactLogix 5370 L1 control system, as
described in the Logix5000 Control Systems: POINT I/O over an EtherNet/IP Network Quick Start, publication
IASIMP-QS027, you must install and configure an EtherNet/IP network.
Completing all of the tasks described in this quick start will assist you when attempting to complete the tasks in
some other quick starts, such as publication IASIMP-QS027.

Studio 5000 Environment
The Studio 5000™ Engineering and Design Environment combines engineering and design
elements into a common environment. The first element in the Studio 5000 environment is the
Logix Designer application. The Logix Designer application is the rebranding of RSLogix™ 5000
software and will continue to be the product to program Logix5000 controllers for discrete,
process, batch, motion, safety, and drive-based solutions.
The Studio 5000 environment is the foundation for the future of Rockwell Automation
engineering design tools and capabilities. It is the one place for design engineers to develop all of
the elements of their control system.

The CompactLogix 5370 L1 controllers ship from the factory with the 1784-SD1 SD
card installed.
Complete these steps to re-install an SD card that has been removed from the controller back
into the controller or if installing a new SD card into the controller.
WARNING: When you insert or remove the SD card while power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an
explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
1. Verify that the SD card is locked or unlocked according to your preference.
Consider these points when
deciding to lock the card before
installation:
• If the card is unlocked, the
controller can write data to it or
read data from it.
• If the card is locked, the controller can only read data from it.

Install the Local Expansion Module
This quick start uses a 1734-OB4E POINT I/O output module in a local expansion
module slot.
1. Make sure the DIN rail locking screw in the mounting base, for example, the 1734-TB
mounting base, is in the vertical position.
2. Align the tongue and groove slots
of the mounting base to the slots
on the right side of the controller
and push it back until it seats on
the DIN rail.
3. Use a small-bladed screwdriver to
rotate the DIN rail locking screw
to a horizontal position, locking
the mounting base in place.
4. Set the key position on the
mounting base before installing
the 1734-OB4E module.
This example shows position 1.
5. Make sure the output module’s key
position matches the position used
on the mounting base.
