ProSoft Technology AN-X-MOD - Manual (Page 29)

AN-X-MOD (Master) Page 25
The file consists of sections for each scheduled connection. Within each
scheduled connection there are definitions for the input and output data
for that connection that refer to the Modicon module (drop, rack and slot)
where the data is to be found.
When you create a mapping for a module, all the input or output data for
the module is mapped; you cannot map individual registers.
AN-X can automatically create a default mapping file when you
autoconfigure I/O. See page 18 for details.
ClxName
The first line in the file identifies the AN-X module. AN-X uses this
name in the ControlLogix alias tags it creates for the Modicon data. The
ClxName definition consists of a line with the keyword ClxName,
followed by a comma and the name you gave the emulated ENBT (see
page 31)
Example:
ClxName, AnxMod
When AN-X automatically creates a configuration file, it uses the
Ethernet host name as the default ClxName.
ClxPrefix
The ClxPrefix is used in the alias names AN-X creates for import into
RSLogix 5000. AN-X prefixes each tagname with the ClxPrefix. The
ClxPrefix can be used to distinguish tags for the same Modicon address
when the ControlLogix processor has connections to more than one AN-
X-MOD (Master).
For example, if the ControlLogix has connections to two AN-X-MOD
(Master) modules, each controlling a different Modicon network, each
network could have a Modicon I/O module with the same drop and slot
address. Use a different ClxPrefix in the configuration file for each
AN-X-MOD (Master) so that the tags for the two modules are unique.
The ClxPrefix consists of a line with the keyword ClxPrefix, followed by
a comma and the prefix text.
Example:
ClxPrefix,MOD_
Scheduled Connection Data
Each scheduled connection to the AN-X begins with a line that consists
of the keyword ClxSlot followed by a comma and then a number from 0
to 15
Example:
ClxSlot, 0
