Scheduled Data with a ControlLogix
AN-X-AMXRIO exchanges scheduled data with a ControlLogix processor.
It supports:
• up to 248 registers of output data
• up to 250 registers of input data
• 24 registers of status input data
The terms input and output are from the point of view of the ControlLogix.
The ControlLogix processor sends output data to the AN-X-AMXRIO and the AN-X
sends it out on the AutoMax Remote I/O network.
The AN-X receives input data from the AutoMax remote I/O network and sends input
and status input data to the ControlLogix.
There are two possible types of scheduled connections from the ControlLogix processor
to the AN-X-AMXRIO:
• Exclusive owner connections, which contain input, output and status input
data
• Input-only connections, which contain input and status input data
There can be only one exclusive owner connection to an AN-X module, but there can be
more than one input only connection to an AN-X.
To configure scheduled data exchange:
1. Configure AN-X in RSLogix 5000
2. Configure the remote I/O network in AN-X-AMXRIO
3. Use the tag conversion utility provided to create a tag file from the I/O
configuration
4. Import the tags into RSLogix 5000
Requirements
• RSLogix 5000 version 12 or above
• ControlLogix processor with version 12 or above firmware
• 100 Mbit Ethernet network and modules
