MicroLogix 1400 Distributed Network Protocol (DNP3) Appendix F

Default Directories and Files

The MicroLogix 1400 has default directories and files for file handling in a
DNP3 subsystem.

The default directories and files can be read from the controller using the
function code OPEN_FILE(25), Read(1), and CLOSE_FILE(26).

Currently supported directories are "/EXE" and "/DIAG". Supported files are
listed in this section. These directories/files cannot be removed and cannot be
created using DNP3 requests.

• The directory/file names must all be in capital letters.
• Root level can only be a directory marker. The directory marker is "/" for

Series A, or "\" for Series B.

• Directory level can only contain directories.
• File level can only contain files.

Note that the directory marker is different in the MicroLogix 1400 Series A and
Series B controllers. The directory marker is "/" for Series A and "\" for Series B
controllers. In this document, "/" is used to explain File Object feature.

Generating *.IMG files using RSLogix 500/RSLogix Micro

Typically, RSLogix 500/RSLogix Micro stores the ladder program as "RSLogix
Files (*.RSS)". However, to download a ladder program using a File Object via
DNP3 network, you must save your ladder program in the "RSLogix IMG Files
(*.IMG)" format.
