Configuration Guide (AADvance Controller)
Configure an AADvance Variable as a Consumer
When you configure a variable as a consumer for CIP over Ethernet/IP, you have to
identify the producing Logix controller (it needs a name and an address), provide the
name of the corresponding production variable (the remote tag name), and specify the
requested packet interval. You can manage a list of producing controllers (called
'devices') from the CIP tab. This facility includes the ability to create a record of a
device (giving it a name and specifying its CIP path), and to modify or delete records of
existing devices.
Do the following:
1) Open the variable properties dialog and select the CIP tab.
Note: If the CIP tab is not visible, return to the Dictionary and make sure that
the variable is a type that supports CIP over Ethernet/IP.
2) Select Consumer from the drop-down list.
3) If this is the first consumer variable in the AADvance Workbench project for the
desired producer, you have to create a record for the producer. Do the following:
1) Click Edit Producer List. The Producer List opens; the dialog shows a list of
records for producers.
2) Click Add and create a record to identify the producer. Specify the Device
Name (this is a name of your choice).
3) Specify the CIP Path to Device (its address). This is in the format:
<IP address>,<port>,<slot>
The IP address is the address of the ControlLogix Ethernet Module in the
ControlLogix system.
