Chapter 1 What is DeviceLogix Functionality?
Local Ladder Logic
The local logic of a DeviceLogix device consists of rung, branch,
contact, output coil, and box instructions. A box instruction performs
a specific function (such as Timer or Counter). Contact and coil
instructions could be hardware data, networked data, and fault and
status bits that are available for use in the local logic. Additionally,
contact could also refer the output of a box instruction.
The DeviceLogix Editor is a graphical tool for building DeviceLogix
functionality in DeviceLogix-enabled products. With the editor, you
can create logic, bind logic input and output, verify logic,
upload/download logic and enable/disable logic in
DeviceLogix-enabled products. When logic is running (in online mode
and when logic is enabled), real-time data is animated in the editor
and you can also implement forces or perform online parameter
modification for some function types.
DeviceLogix Functionality
and Associated Host
Software You configure DeviceLogix features through RSNetWorx for DeviceNet
software and Drives Tools software. The DeviceLogix Editor ships as
part of RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software, starting with revision 3.0.
EDS files that enable DeviceLogix functionality are also shipped with
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software in a separate folder labeled
Additional EDS Files.
For more information on registering EDS files, see Appendix A.
For more information on configuring RSNetWorx for DeviceNet
software for use with the DeviceLogix Editors, see Appendix B.
