2.

Creating a spreadsheet to select which PROFIBUS data is mapped to
the scheduled data and saving it as a comma separated variable
(CSV) file

3.

Sending the configuration to AN-X

Requirements

RSLogix 5000 version 12 or above

ControlLogix processor with version 12 or above firmware

100 Mbit Ethernet network and ENBT modules. We strongly
recommend using switches rather than hubs

WARNING!

Do not use the web interface to monitor data on the AN-X-PBSLV while
the AN-X is exchanging scheduled data with a ControlLogix processor
in a production environment.

Configuring AN-X in RSLogix 5000

You configure the module in RSLogix 5000 to set the module type, how
much scheduled data to transfer and how often to transfer it.

There can be a maximum of 248 words of output data and 250 words
each of input and status input data.

TIP

If the total amount of input data you wish to pass from PROFIBUS is
250 or fewer words, you can map all the data to the input data and do not
need to create the status input data. This will use less Ethernet
bandwidth. In the following, to create input and status input data, select
Data –INT – with Status as the Data Format. To create just input data,
select Data – INT.

To configure the module in RSLogix 5000, you must be offline.

1.

If you are creating a new project, select File/New to create a new
project. Give the processor a name and enter the slot it occupies in
the ControlLogix rack.

2.

Right click on I/O configuration and select New Module

3.

Select a module of Type ETHERNET-MODULE, Description
Generic Ethernet Module from the list and click OK. RSLogix 5000
displays the Module Properties dialog box.
