Enter a record in the dialog box for the DFNT module to be addressed. The
Name field identifies the module to the RSView system. The Channel parameter
should be that defined in the channel set up defined above. The Station
parameter should be set to the IP address of the DFNT module. Select the Close
button after completing the node entry. If your version of the RSView supports
ControlLogix controller tag read and write operations, select the device type
consistent with the ControlLogix processor. This will permit direct access to the
controller tags simulated in the module. Use of controller tags simplifies handling
of the data in RSView as the data will be passing in the correct data format (that
is, bit, word, float).
Next select the Tag Database option from the Edit Mode tab. After selecting the
option, the following dialog box is displayed:
Set up tags for each element to be transferred between RSView and the DFNT
module. In the example above,
Data1 is associated with the first element in the
DFNT module's database (N7:0). A tag should be setup for each register in the
module's database to be interfaced. If RSView is set in run mode, values for the
tags should match those in the module's database. Use the module controller tag
names if using CIP data table read and write operations.
Refer to the RSView documentation for a full discussion of database tags and
reading and writing data between RSView and a processor.
5.7.11 ControlLogix (CLX) Processor
In order to exchange data between a ControlLogix processor and the module, the
MSG instruction is used. There are two basic methods of data transfer supported
by the module when using the MSG instruction: Encapsulated PCCC messages
and CIP Data Table messages. Either method can be used, and the selection is
left to the application developer.
