Remotely Program Allen-Bradley Processors Over a Telemetry Network 11-7
Once RSWho can browse the remote node, then you can use either
RSLogix 5 or RSLogix 500 programming software to upload, download
and go online with that remote PLC-5, SLC or MicroLogix node.
Remote Programming via
Logix EtherNet/IP to DF1
Bridge Logix processors support Common Industrial Protocol (CIP), which
allows them to work as bridges between different networks that
support CIP, such as EtherNet/IP and DF1. RSLinx Classic takes
advantage of this capability in order to browse from Ethernet to the
Logix EtherNet/IP interface, through to the Logix processor serial port
and onto the DF1 network. This allows RSLogix 5, RSLogix 500, and
RSLogix 5000 to upload, download and go online with PLC-5, SLC,
MicroLogix and Logix processors on the DF1 network.
Using the RSLinx AB_ETHIP EtherNet/IP driver, browse to the Logix
EtherNet/IP interface, click on the ‘+’ sign in front of it, and browse
down to the Logix processor. Click on the ‘+’ sign in front of the Logix
processor and a Channel 0, DF1 network should show up underneath
of it.
Right click on this Channel 0, DF1 network and select Properties.
Under Browse Addresses, enable the Browse only the specified
addresses box and enter in the range of addresses to browse.
TIP
If none of the expected processors show up under
the Channel 0, DF1 network (other than 00,
SLC-5/05) while browsing, verify that while in
program mode, the SLC 5/05 RS-232 LED is flashing
periodically. If not, then most likely the IP address of
the PC is not properly entered into the SLC 5/05
Routing Table. You can verify the IP address of your
Windows PC by typing IPCONFIG at the Windows
command prompt.
TIP
If online with a remote node, RSLogix kicks you
offline due to a timeout error, then it may be
necessary to increase the passthru SLC 5/05 Channel
1 MSG Reply Timeout. The default is 3 seconds,
which may not be adequate for a larger telemetry
network or slower modems. Try increasing the
timeout to 10 seconds and see if the online stability
improves.
