5.5. PLC-5 PLC Programming Example Instructions
This topic describes how to use RSLogix 5 to configure and run the DeviceMaster UP in a PLC-5 PLC
environment.
You can configure the RSLogix 5 PLC program examples to your site’s requirements. This program is included
in the self-installing file (.MSI) and is 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 5 PLC
program examples:
•
5.5.4. lpbkExampleSlcMsgPollRS5
•
5.5.5. lpbkExamplePlc5MsgPollRS5
These program examples are intended to aid the PLC programmer. These program examples were developed
with:
•
RSLogix 5 (version 6.00.00)
•
Enhanced PLC-5/20 (series E with revision J firmware)
•
Ethernet sidecar (version Enet/B)
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.
