PLC5 emulation.
This ControlNet Router is scheduled using RSNetWorx for ControlNet (see section
ControlNet
Configuration
–
RSNetWorx
for a detailed explanation on how to schedule the ControlNet
Router over a ControlNet network).
The data in the
MappedData
tags (see the Logix Operation section) in the Logix input and
output assembly of the ControlNet Router is used by the ControlNet Router to provide PLC5-
Type Files that can be accessed from the PanelView by using the PLC5 driver. The sizes
configured in Slate for the input and output assemblies will be used to provide the correct
size PLC5-Type Files which the PanelView can access (see section
FTView Configuration
).

The PanelView will read N9 when accessing integer values from Logix and F10 when accessing
floating/real values. The data being written from the Logix Controller to the
MappedData
tag
of the Output Assembly UDT will be copied to both file N9 and F10, but in N9 the data is
formatted for integers while in F10 the data is formatted for real values. Below is a diagram
of the PanelView reading data from the Logix Controller over Scheduled ControlNet using the
PLC5 emulation.
