IN ORDER THAT AB ETHERNET CARD IS WORKING, IT IS NEEDED TO SET BASICALLY AS
FOLLOWS: FOR BASIC SET OF ETHERNET CARD, IT IS POSSIBLE TO SET USING RSLOGIX 5000
OF PLC SOFTWARE.
SELECT ETHERNET INTERFACE OUT OF I/O CONFIGURATION LIST OF CONTROLLER
ORGANIZER SCREEN ON THE LEFT OF RSLOGIX 5000.

BY DOUBLE CLICKING THE SELECTED ETHERNET INTERFACE, THERE DISPLAYS MODULE

ATTRIBUTE SCREEN IN THE RIGHT.
BY SELECTING „PORT CONFIGURATION‟ TAP, IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO ETHERNET SET.

3 DEVICE MAPPING
FOR COMMUNICATING BETWEEN ETHERNET INTERFACE AND TOP, IT IS NECESSARY FOR

MAPPING BETWEEN DEVICE TO BE USED IN ETHERNET COMMUNICATION AND ACTUAL PLC

DEVICE. SELECT CONTROLLER TAGS‟ OUT OF THE CONTROLLER (PROJECT NAME) LIST OF

CONTROLLER ORGANIZER SCREEN IN THE LEFT OF RSLOGIX 5000.

BY DOUBLE CLICKING „CONTROLLER TAGS,‟ „CONTROLLER TAGS‟ SCREEN IS DISPLAYED.

INPUT THE NAME OF DATA ARRAY ON THE NAME. THEN BY PUSHING „….‟ BUTTON OF DATA

TYPE, THE SCREEN FOR SELECTING DATA TYPE IS DISPLAYED.

RECORD THE NUMBER OF ARRAY TO BE USED IN DIM 0.

※ IT IS POSSIBLE TO USE ONLY ONE-DIMENSIONAL ARRAY AT THE TIME OF COMMUNICATING

TO TOP. (POSSIBLE TO USE ONLY [0~999] OF DIM0)

BOOL 32BIT 0:0 ~ 999:999/32 B

FOR MAPPING THE CREATED DATA TYPE ARRAY TO THE ADDRESS FOR ETHERNET
COMMUNICATION, SELECT [LOGIC] -> [MAP PLC/SLC MESSAGES..] ON THE MENU.

BY CLICKING [MAP PLC/SLC MESSAGES..], MAPPING SCREEN IS DISPLAYED.

INPUT THE NAME OF DATA ARRAY IN THE CREATED NAME. BY INPUTTING FILE NUMBER

[0~999] AND CLICKING [OK] BUTTON, MAPPING IS COMPLETED.

※ IN USING SEVERAL DATA ARRAYS, FILE NUMBER MUST NOT BE OVERLAPPED.

USE THE MAPPING DATA ARRAY ON THE TOP DESIGNER.
