1.6 Using the Sample Ladder Logic
The sample program for your MVI56-DFCM module includes custom tags, data
types, and ladder logic for data I/O and status monitoring. For most applications,
you can run the sample ladder program without modification, or, for advanced
applications, you can incorporate the sample program into your existing
application.
The ProSoft Solutions DVD provides one or more versions of the sample ladder
logic. The version number appended to the file name corresponds with the
firmware version number of your ControlLogix processor. The firmware version
and sample program version must match.
1.7 Connecting Your PC to the ControlLogix Processor
There are several ways to establish communication between your PC and the
ControlLogix processor. The following steps show how to establish
communication through the serial interface.
Note: It is not mandatory that you use the processor's serial interface. You may access the
processor through whatever network interface is available on your system. Refer to your Rockwell
Automation documentation for information on other connection methods.
1 Connect the right-angle connector end of the cable to your controller at the
communications port.
