5.3. ControlLogix PLC Programming Example Instructions
This topic describes how to use RSLogix 5000 to configure and run the DeviceMaster UP in a ControlLogix
environment.
You can configure the RSLogix 5000 PLC program examples to your site’s requirements. These programs are
included in the self-installing file (.MSI) and are copied to the Comtrol/EtherNetIP directory on your computer
when you open the .MSI file and follow the prompts. The self-installing file includes the following RSLogix
5000 PLC program examples:
•
5.3.3. loopbackExampleTagWrite.L5K
•
5.3.4. loopbackExampleTagWriteSynced.L5K
•
5.3.5. loopbackExamplePolling.L5K
These program examples are intended to aid the PLC programmer. The PLC programmer can use and modify
these PLC program examples to suit their needs.
Note: The PLC program examples are designed to interface with a DeviceMaster UP 1-port or on Port 1 of a 2-
port or 4-port. Additional programming is required to use all ports on a 2-port or 4-port.
Disclaimer: Comtrol supplies example PLC programs for demonstration purposes only.
They are intended for the sole purpose of an example loop-back demonstration in a
controlled lab environment. They are not intended for use in a production environment
and may not function correctly on all PLCs. Comtrol does not warrant these example
programs or any part thereof. The user assumes all liability for any modification to and
use of a modified example program.
5.3.1. What is RSLogix 5000?
RSLogix 5000 is a programming application that is designed to interface with the ControlLogix line of PLCs.
You can use it for sequential, process, drive, and motion control programming. It provides an easy-to-use
interface, symbolic programming with structures and arrays and an instruction set that serves many types of
applications. It simplifies plant maintenance by providing one programming environment for all of your
applications.
Note: See the RSLogix 5000 Help for more information on this product.
5.3.2. Requirements
•
The DeviceMaster UP must be installed and configured as described in the
