Delta RMC151 - Manual (Page 569)

6 Communication
Control Block This parameter points to a block of integer-file registers (51
registers for Ethernet, 12 for serial). Set this to a block of
registers, and then use the Setup Screen option in the MSG
ladder logic block to modify those register values:
• This Controller: This section holds parameters for the
SLC 5/05.
o Communication Command: This parameter will
be set to 500CPU Read, or 500CPU Write,
depending on what was selected in the MSG block
itself (as described above).
o Data Table Address: Enter the address of the
first Allen-Bradley PLC register to read RMC
registers into, or to write to RMC registers from.
o Size in Elements: Enter the number of RMC
registers to read or write in this field. The range
enforced by the SLC is 1 to 256 values.
o Channel: Set this to the channel number of the
serial Ethernet channel. For the SLC 5/05, this
should be channel #1 for both serial and
Ethernet.
• Target Device: This section holds parameters for the
target device.
o Message Timeout: Indicate the number of
seconds to wait for the RMC to respond before
determining that the attempt failed. This can be
set as low as a few seconds.
o Data Table Address: Enter the address of the
first RMC register to read or write in this field.
See the RMC Register Map (Allen-Bradley) for
help on addresses.
o For Ethernet:
Ethernet (IP) address: Set this to the IP
address of the RMC you wish to communicate
with.
MultiHop: This parameter should be set to No.
o For Serial:
Local Node Addr (dec): Enter the node address
of this RMC. The node address of the RMC is set
up in the Serial Port Settings Page. The node
address entered on that screen is in decimal, so it
is recommended that you enter the same number
in the dec field.
Local/Remote and Bridge Parameters: In most
applications these will be set to Local and there will
be no bridge parameters. If you are using a bridge
then these parameters will need to be used.
However, this is beyond the scope of RMC
documentation. Refer to your Allen-Bradley
documentation for instructions on using these fields.
Note:
For the SLC505, if the start of communications with the RMC exhibits several minutes of delay
