4.16.2 ControlLogix (CLX) Processor

In order to exchange data between a ControlLogix processor and the module, the

MSG instruction is used. There are two basic methods of data transfer supported

by the module when using the MSG instruction: Encapsulated PCCC messages

and CIP Data Table messages. Either method can be used, and the selection is

left to the application developer.

Encapsulated PCCC Messages
PLC5 and SLC5/05 processors containing an Ethernet interface use the

encapsulated PCCC message method. The module simulates these devices and

accepts both read and write commands. The following topics describe the

support for the read and write operations.

Encapsulated PCCC Write Message
Write commands transfer data from the ControlLogix processor to the module.

The following encapsulated PCCC commands are supported from a ControlLogix

Processor:
 PLC2 Unprotected Write
 PLC5 Typed Write
 PLC5 Word Range Write
