[?]: Rslogix 5000 v20.01 not support redundancy 1756-rm2

Post by im41449 »

I'm trying to add redundancy module 1756-rm2 in rslogix 5000 io configuration, but when I press on "New module" list doesn't contain this product number.
Im using Rslogix 5000 v20.01
I need to put it in configuration tree to do MSG instruction for program executed redundancy switchover ("Browse for the path to the 1756-RM or 1756-RMXT redundancy module." page 172 of 1756-um535_-en-p.pdf manual)
What should I do? Please help

Putting the path as: 1, number of 1756-RM2 module slot
makes it work, so for RM-2 module in slot 3 you would have to put 1, 3


Now I have another question, do I need both 1756-RMC1 fiber optic redundancy cables? Switchover works with only one but there is a red LED blinking on ch2. Putting both cables makes ch2 blink in green.
