Catalog files
Turck provides catalog files "TURCK_BLOCK_STATIONS_Vxx.L5K" for use in Rockwell Automa-
tion's RSLogix/Studio5000. The catalog files contain predefined, application-dependent device
configurations with different input and output data widths and descriptions of the configura-
tion, input and output tag data. The predefined device configurations correspond to the input
and output assembly instances described in the section "Assembly Object" in the chapter
"Commissioning Devices with EtherNet/IP™”
Ò
under "EtherNet/IP™ Standard Classes".
NOTE
The catalog file is available in the L5K file format and must be converted to the
"ACD" file format before it can be used. The file is opened in RSLogix/Studio5000
and saved as a project (*.ACD).
Prerequisites
n
Instance of the programming software with the Catalog files is opened.
