Configuring RSLogix 5000 Software to Access Data on the 1757-ABRIO Module Chapter 5
Unscheduled I/O
Connections in
ControlLogix There are several tasks you need to complete before you can access
data from ControlLogix. You need to create the following:
Tags for messages
Tags for storage areas
Message commands to read RIO network data
Message commands to write RIO network data
Use RSLogix 5000 message instructions (MSG) to access tags on the
1757-ABRIO module. Refer to RSLogix 5000 Online Help and the
Logix5000 Controllers General Instructions Reference Manual,
publication
1756-RM003 , for details on messages.
Before you create the MSG instruction, create a tag of type MESSAGE
to act as a control for the MSG instruction. You must also create a
source (write) or destination (read) tag for the data written to or read
from the 1757-ABRIO module.
1. Create Tags For All Messages and All Storage Areas
RSLogix 5000 Example Tags in Program Mode
For message type,
select CIP Data
Table Read or
Data Table Write.
On a Read, the
source is a
1757-ABRIO Tag
Name. The
Destination, on a
Read, is an
RSLogix 5000 Tag
Name.
These are the tags
you will reference
in your message
commands.
