COMMUNICATIONS SETUP
MESSAGE WRITE SETUP SCREEN
The following setup screen is based upon the Compressor
program and is shown here for example purposes only.
The screen is set to write the compressor mode to the
Quantum™ (ID#1) N55:3 data file from the SLC500’s
N55:3 data file. The target address must be changed for
the AcuAir
®
Quantum™ LX.
•
This Controller: SLC500
•
Data Table Address: Data file location in the
SLC500
•
Size in Elements: # of data file to read
•
Channel: Port location on the SLC
processor (Channel 0 is the RS232 port)
•
Target Device: Quantum™ Panel
•
Data Table Address: Data file location in the
Quantum™ controller.

Local Node: Quantum™ ID# (Octal)
Allen-Bradley Data Access
Data passed to and from the Quantum™ are
integer values with one decimal field assumed
unless shown otherwise or the command is sent
to select two decimal fields. For example, if the
data’s value is 25.5 then the value 255 is sent. All
temperatures are in degree C and all pressures
are in PSIA. However, the Quantum™ can be
configured to return all temperature and pressure
data in the prescribed Panel Units. This change
can be made by setting address N119:20 to a 1
(Panel Units). The Panel Units can be assessed
and changed in the Human Interface (HMI) by
selecting MENU
→
SETPOINTS
→
PANEL.
The value zero (0) is used to represent an OFF
status and a DISABLED option. The value one
(1), which is received as a 10, is used to
represent an ON status and an ENABLED option.
Only data values that are designated as setpoints
are modifiable. Read Only is used to help identify
what data is not modifiable. The setpoint range is
checked to see if it is an allowed setting. If it is
not allowed, the setting is not changed.
Reference the Quantum™ Data Tables in this
manual for the address listing and description of
data.
EtherNet/IP
Frick Controls supports the use of EtherNet/IP
(as described on the ab.com website, under the
EtherNet/IP heading) with LX software. Address
mapping follows the Allen-Bradley N: format, as
shown in the Data Tables under the heading of
AB Address. Configure your Ethernet port for
44818. Although this protocol is basically self-
configuring, if you do have additional questions,
please contact Frick Controls.
