ClxName
The ClxName line in the file identifies the AN-X module. AN-X uses this name in the
ControlLogix tags it creates for the Modicon data. The ClxName definition consists of a
line with the keyword ClxName, followed by a comma and the name you gave the
emulated ENBT (see page 31)
Example:
ClxName, AnxModMon
When AN-X automatically creates a configuration file during autoconfiguration, it uses
the Ethernet host name as the default ClxName.
ClxPrefix
The ClxPrefix is used in the tagnames AN-X creates for import into RSLogix 5000.
AN-X prefixes each tagname with the ClxPrefix. The ClxPrefix can be used to
distinguish tags for the same Modicon address when the ControlLogix processor has
connections to more than one AN-X2-MOD-MON.
For example, if the ControlLogix has connections to two AN-X2-MOD-MON modules,
each monitoring a different Modicon network, both networks could contain I/O modules
with the same drop and slot address. Using a different ClxPrefix in the configuration files
for each AN-X2-MOD-MON makes the tagnames for the two modules distinct.
The ClxPrefix consists of a line with the keyword ClxPrefix, followed by a comma and
the prefix text.
Example:
ClxPrefix,MOD_
Scheduled Connection Data
Each scheduled connection to the AN-X begins with a line that consists of the keyword
ClxSlot followed by a comma and then a number from 0 to 15
Example:
ClxSlot, 0
Each scheduled connection consists of output data and input data.
Scheduled outputs from the ControlLogix processor for that connection begin with a line
with just the keyword DataOutput. Since all monitored data is mapped to scheduled
inputs, the DataOutput section can be omitted for connections that contain just monitored
I/O data, since all monitored inputs and outputs are mapped to ControlLogix inputs.
Scheduled inputs to the ControlLogix processor for that connection begin with a line with
just the keyword DataInput.
Data definitions consist of lines that define the mapping between the ControlLogix data
table and the Modicon I/O module location (drop, rack and slot).
