ControlLogix Chassis Requirements
The ControlLogix chassis is part of a modular system that you can create with
FactoryTalk Historian ME, an Ethernet/IP communication module(s), and controller
module(s). Chassis are available with 4, 7, 10, 13, and 17 slots. You can place the
FactoryTalk Historian ME module into any slot. Slot 0 is the first slot and is always
the left-most slot in the rack (the first slot to the right of the power supply.)
The FactoryTalk Historian ME module communicates with the control processor(s)
in controller module(s) through the ControlLogix backplane (also known as the
ControlBus). The backplane is an electrical interface, or bus, to which modules
connect when inserted into the rack. The backplane provides a high-speed
communication path between modules and distributes power to each of the modules
within the chassis. Controller modules on the backplane can send data to and receive
data from the module.
Chassis requirements include:
„
1756 ControlLogix Chassis (1756-AXX) and proper chassis power supply for
your environment
„
RSLogix 5000 software and RSLinx Classic communications software
„
An Ethernet/IP communication bridge module (1756-ENBT, 1756-EN2T, 1756-
EN2TR, or 1756-EWEB, depending on your environment)
„
ControlLogix 55xx (1756-Lxx) controllers, version 13 or higher
„
A 1GB or 2GB FactoryTalk Historian ME module
U PGRADING AND R EINSTALLING THE F IRMWARE
To upgrade the FactoryTalk Historian ME firmware (or reinstall it in case it becomes
corrupted), you must use the ControlFlash Firmware upgrade kit.
Before you upgrade ensure that:
„
Data Collection and Data Transfer are stopped.
FactoryTalk Historian ME does not support multiple modules collecting data from a
single controller.
Any kind of firmware upgrade or reinstall will clear out all logs. A firmware upgrade will
preserve archived data and application configuration information, but a reinstall will clear
out all application configuration information and archived data. If you want to save your
settings, download and back up your configuration and logs.
