Add a controller plug-in module

Before you begin

If you have not already done so, create a new project that contains a Micro800 controller (2080-LC50-24QVB) and save the project (Traffic_Light).

What you will accomplish

In this task, you will add a plug-in module to the Traffic_Light project, which will provide a real-time clock for the project.

To add a controller plug-in module

1. View and modify the Controller properties:

From the Controller tree, click the plus (+) sign next to Controller to expand the selection.
Click General to view the Controller properties.
Type Traffic Light in Description.

2. From the Controller tab (Micro850), right-click the first slot (slot 1) of the controller, and then select a plug-in module (2080-MEMBAK-RTC).

3. Add a second plug-in module:

From the Controller tree, click the plus (+) sign next to Plug-In Modules to expand the selection.
Right-click the second slot and click a plug-in module (2080-IF4).

4. Note the controller now has two plug-in modules ((2080-MEMBAK-RTC and 2080-IF4).

5. Click the first slot of the controller to display the Plug-in module properties, and note the configuration options for the plug-in module (2080-MEMBAK-RTC).

6. Save your project.
