7-12 Communicating with Devices on a ControlNet Link
The DriveLogix5730 controller can send typed or word-range commands to
PLC-5 controllers. These commands read and write data differently. The
following diagrams show how the typed and word-range commands differ.
The DriveLogix5730 controller can process messages initiated from PLC or
SLC controllers. These messages use data table addresses. In order for these
controllers to access tags within the DriveLogix5730 controller, you map
tags to data table addresses.
Mapping Addresses
The programming software includes a PLC/SLC mapping tool which allows
you to make an existing controller array tag in the local controller available
to PLC-2, PLC-3, PLC-5, or SLC controllers.
DriveLogix writes
to PLC-2 In the DriveLogix controller, select one of these data types:
SINT, INT, DINT, or REAL
Example source element: array_1
Use the PLC-2 compatibility file.
Example destination tag: 010
DriveLogix reads
from PLC-5 or
SLC Specify the destination file type based on the destination
device:
PLC-5 typed read: S, B, N, or F
PLC-5 word-range read: S, B, N, F, I, O, A, or D
SLC: B or N
Example source element: N7:10
In the DriveLogix controller, specify the destination data type
based on the destination device:
PLC-5: SINT, INT, DINT, or REAL
SLC: INT
Example destination tag: array_1
DriveLogix reads
from PLC-2 Use the PLC-2 compatibility file.
