4.6 The way to set device address when use ControlLogix, CompactLogix series
In ControlLogix and CompactLogix series, device is set with tag name. However, you have to set with a Symbol and Address format
that is the same as MicroLogix, SLC 500 and PLC-5 because WindO/I-NV2 can not operate a tag name directly.
You have to attach each tag name to a device symbol and device address at that time.
This is called mapping.
4.6.1 The way of mapping
The following work is done in RS Logix 5000 software.
1. Define some tags to communicate with MICRO/I in “Controller Tags”
2. Select “Logic” and “Map PLC/SLC Messages…” on main menu in RS Logix 5000 software.
3. Attach File Number to each tag name in “PLC3,5/SLC Mapping” dialog box.
4.6.2 The way to select device address in WindO/I-NV2
When select device address in WindO/I-NV2, set tag type to device symbol and set array number to File Number.
4.6.3 The process to select device address
Set device address in WindO/I-NV2 software.
Define some tags in RSLogix 5000 software.
