AN-X4-ABRIO-SCAN Page

AN-X accepts RPIs from 1 to 750 ms.
Select an RPI appropriate to the remote I/O network scan time and to your application. You can use
the diagnostic counters (see page 48) to obtain the remote I/O network scan time.
TIP
Use the web interface of the ENBT or other Ethernet module that connects the
ControlLogix to the AN-X to view the loading of the ENBT module.
ControlLogix Aliases
AN-X uses the Ethernet/IP configuration to create aliases that can be imported into RSLogix 5000.
Use these aliases in your RSLogix 5000 program to access the data on the AN-X. Even if the
ControlLogix address for an I/O address changes, all you have to do is export the aliases and re-
import them into RSLogix 5000.
WARNING!
Before you export aliases, right click on the root of the network tree and select
AN-X-AB-RIO Properties…
Make sure that the AN-X2 checkbox is checked.
WARNING!
If you change the remote I/O or ControlLogix configuration, export aliases and
re-import them so that the ControlLogix processor uses the correct addresses.
In the configuration tool, select
Tools/Export Alias File…
