Mapping the DCS Data

You define the DCS data that is exchanged between the AN-X and the
ControlLogix processor in a comma-delimited text file, which can be
created using a spreadsheet such as Excel or using a text editor.

ControlLogix Name

The first line in the file contains the module name, used to create aliases
that can be imported into RSLogix 5000.

It consists of the keyword ClxName, a comma, and the name you gave
the module when you configured in in RSLogix 5000.

Example:

ClxName, ANX

The ControlLogix name is used in the address part of the alias. It can be
up to 40 characters long.

ControlLogix Prefix

The second line in the file is the ControlLogix prefix, used to create the
name part of the alias.

The first field contains the keyword ClxPrefix. The second field contains
text that prefixes the alias names created for the mapped data. The prefix
can be up to 33 characters long.
