4 Operation
Once the module has been configured, it will exchange HART information between
the HART field device and an EtherNet/IP controller (e.g. Logix), DNP3 Master,
Modbus TCP/IP client, or an SLC / MicroLogix / PLC5 using PCCC.
4.1 Logix 5000
When the module operates in a Logix “owned” mode the Logix controller will
establish a class 1 cyclic communication connection with the module. An input and
output assembly is exchanged at the configured (RPI) interval.
4.1.1 Input Assembly
The following parameters are used in the input assembly of the PLX51-HART-4I and
PLX51-HART-4O modules.

Channel Data
The next section is repeated for each of the 4 channels. Where x represents the channel number (0-3).
Chx_ManufacturerID
SINT
The unique manufacturer
identification code.
Chx_ManufacturerDeviceType
SINT
The device type code specified by
the manufacturer.
Chx_LiveList
INT
When using Multidrop
functionality this will indicate
which of the configured
devices are online. Note that
each bit represents the
configured Multidrop Device
Index (see the Multidrop
configuration in the Advanced
Mapping section).
Example: if bit 3 is set, then
Multidrop device at MD 3 is
online (for the specific
channel).
Chx_DeviceID
DINT
The device identification code
specified by the manufacturer.
