8.5.2 Configuring the Controller
Use the configuration software to define the
Protocol conversion
for each local register to be
EIP Originator
>
DXM
or
EIP
DXM
>
Originator
from the
Edit Register
or
Modify Multiple Register
screens.
Define a DXM local register as
EIP Originator
>
DXM
when the host PLC (Originator) will send data to the DXM local
register (DXM).
Define a DXM local register as
EIP DXM
>
Originator
when that register data will be sent from the DXM (DXM) to the host
PLC (Originator).
Data from an EIP controller in assembly instance 112 is data destined for the DXM local registers. The PLC is normally
configured for INT or UINT data transfer. This allows for a seamless transfer of data.

Data from the DXM local registers is sent to the EIP controller using assembly instance 100. Each local register in the DXM
defined as
EIP DXM
>
Originator
is collected in numerical order and placed into the data buffer destined for assembly
instance 100. DXM local registers are capable of 32-bits, but only the lower 2-bytes (16-bits) for each local register are
transferred.

Configure the Local Registers to Export Data to a PLC
1. On the DXM Configuration Software: Go to the
Local Registers
screen.
2. Select the register(s) that will be exported to a Host PLC.
A maximum of 228 registers can be read or written with Ethernet/IP.
3. In the
Storage/Connectivity
section, select
EIP DXM -> Originator
from the
Protocol conversion
drop-down list.
To change a block of continuous local registers, use the
Modify Multiple Registers
screen.
Configure the Local Registers to Import Data from a PLC
1. On the DXM Configuration Software: Go to the
Local Registers
screen.
2. Select the register(s) that will be imported from a Host PLC.
A maximum of 228 registers can be read or written with Ethernet/IP.
3. In the
Storage/Connectivity
section, select
EIP Originator -> DXM
from the
Protocol conversion
drop-down list.
To change a block of continuous local registers, use the
Modify Multiple Registers
screen.
To view the EIP Input and Output registers, go to the
Tools
>
Protocol Conversion
screen. You may also export the
register map to a CSV file.
