Communicating with Devices on an EtherNet/IP Link

Mapping Addresses

The programming software includes a PLC/SLC mapping tool which allows
you to make an existing controller array tag in the local controller available
to PLC-2, PLC-3, PLC-5, or SLC controllers.

To map addresses:

1. From the Logic menu, select Map PLC/SLC Messages.

2. Specify this information:

The following table shows example source and destination tags and
elements for different controller combinations.

For:

In this field:

Specify:

For example:

PLC-3, PLC-5, and
SLC controllers

File Number

Type the file number of the data table in the PLC/SLC controller. 10

Tag Name

Type the array tag name the local controller uses to refer to the
PLC/SLC data table address. The tag must be an integer array
(SINT, INT, or DINT) that is large enough for the message data.

array_1

PLC-2 controllers

Tag Name

Type the tag name to be the PLC-2 compatibility file.

200

TIP: You can map as many tags as you want to a PLC-3, PLC-5, or SLC
controller. You can map only one tag to a PLC-2 controller.

Type of MSG Instruction:

Example Source and Destination:

PLC-5 writes to DriveLogix5730

SLC writes to DriveLogix5730
SLC 5/05
SLC 5/04 OS402 and above
SLC 5/03 OS303 and above

source element

N7:10

destination tag

“array_1”

The PLC-5, PLC-3, and SLC controllers support logical ASCII addressing so you do not have to
map a compatibility file for MSG instructions initiated by a PLC-5, PLC-3, or SLC controller. Place
the DriveLogix5730 tag name in double quotes (“).

You could optionally map a compatibility file. For example, if you enter 10 for the compatibility file,
you enter N10:0 for the destination tag.

PLC-2 writes to DriveLogix5730

source element

010

destination tag

200

The destination tag is the three-digit PLC-2 address you specified for PLC-2 mapping.
