Setting up the PLC- Example Using RSLogix5000
This is how you would set up the example on the previous page using RSLogix5000:
1)
Add a “Generic Ethernet Module” under the Ethernet adapter for your PLC.
2)
Change the IP address to match the gateway.
3)
Make sure the Comm Format matches what you have configured in the Data format field on the
EtherNet/IP Adapter Configuration page.
4)
The Connection Parameters must match exactly.
NOTE: The Connection Parameters table indicates how many bytes to use for the assembly instance. If
you are using a Data Format that is not type 8 Bit Int/Uint, this number needs to be adjusted accordingly
in the Connection Parameters section.
EX:
For this example, in the gateway, the Data Format is 16 Bit Int and the Input Size in the Connection
Parameters table indicates 64 Bytes. Enter 32 for the Input Assembly Size.
5)
After you click
OK
, you will be prompted to enter the Requested Pack Interval (RPI). The RPI
minimum value is 20ms.
6)
Click
OK
once more to finish adding the gateway into the PLC.
