Rockwell Automation 1757-SWKIT5100 ProcessLogix R510.0 Installation and Upgrade Guide - Manual (Page 232)

Publication 1757-IN510A-EN-P - October 2003
9-2 New Functions and Features
1757-ABRIO Update The new features for the ABRIO include:
• Supports scheduled connections to update digital data with a
ControlLogix processor.
• Supports firmware updates using NTools or ControlFlash.
• Supports direct DDE/OPC data access.
The 1757-ABRIO ships with a configuration utility, AbRioCfg. This
configuration program is an online configuration tool. Use it to:
• query the RIO network to determine the location and size of the
racks present
• add and configure supported block transfer modules
• create tags for access by the control processor
• map I/O data to those tags
• download the configuration to the module, using RSLinx
• monitor data and diagnostics on the module
• upload a configuration from a module
• print the configuration
New PLX Function Blocks AB Logic instructions are contained in the ControlBuilder Library tab.
These instructions allow you to combine bits into bytes, words, or
dwords. You can also convert bytes, words, or dwords into bits. The
following is a brief description of the new instructions.
