5.4. SLC or MicroLogix PLC Programming Example Instructions
This topic describes how to use RSLogix 500 to configure and run the DeviceMaster UP in an SLC or
MicroLogix PLC environment.
You can configure the RSLogix 500 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
500 PLC program examples:
•
5.4.3.1. lpbkExampleSlcMsgPollRS500 - SLC PLC
•
5.4.3.2. lpbkExamplePlc5MsgPollRS500 - SLC PLC
These program examples are intended to aid the PLC programmer. These program examples were developed
with version 6.30.00 (CPR 6) of RSLogix 500 and a C series SLC 5/05 with FRN 9 firmware.
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.
