Adding additional memory?

[02js4130]

Hi,

I have encountered a situation where the PLC ( Micrologix 1500 LRP) has reached its memory limit, so i have done some research and found out that there is additional memory available in the form of a 1764-MM2,Perfect!

The problem comes when i try too find out how too address it using Rs Logix 500. e.g. do i add it as additional module in the controller properties? or is it a custom configuration?

I would like too do this so that i can continue programming in Rs Logix, and 'trick' program by thinking it has additional memory before i have purchased one.

Any help would be great!! Thanks in advance.

Sorry, thats not for program useage, thats for backing up so as to recover from program or data loss.

ahh ok i did wonder this when i was researching.

Is there any way of increasing the memory? or would i have too chance processors completely?

I think you'll have to move out of the Micrologix line to get more memory. Or make your existing code more efficient.
