ArmorStart® to ArmorPoint® Connectivity 11-7
Adding Devices to the Configuration Structure
Once the three major System level parameters are entered, it is up to
the user to enter in, each of the ArmorStart devices configuration
information. These parameters are defined by the slot in the Logix
chassis where the EtherNetIP or ControlNet communication card
resides. The next parameter is the EtherNetIP IP or ControlNet node
address of the 1738 communication adapter containing the
ArmorStart. Lastly, the slot number on the ArmorPoint subnet where
the ArmorStart is connected also needs to be entered. An optional
parameter is a string that can be entered with a description of the
function of the ArmorStart device. Each device will be configured by
entering its data into a different block of the
Armor_Start_System.Device[] array.
The Following shows the configuration for a communication card in
the Logix chassis 2, AENT IP address 192.168.1.10 and Point I/O slot
3. The logic determines whether the network is EtherNetIP or
ControlNet depending on whether the ENET_IP_Addr field is blank
or the CNET_Address is zero. One of these two fields must be filled
out for the logic to work correctly. The Armor_Descriptor field is
optional and is used to more easily identify the ArmorStart as to its
function in the system.
