• This Controller: This section holds parameters for the SLC 5/05.
• Communication Command: This parameter will be set to PLC5 Read, PLC5
Write, 500CPU Read, or 500CPU Write, depending on what was selected in the
MSG block itself (as described above).
• Data Table Address: Enter the address of the first Allen-Bradley PLC register to
read RMC registers into, or to write to RMC registers from.
• Size in Elements: Enter the number of RMC registers to read or write in this field.
The range enforced by the SLC depends on the model used. The SLC 5/02 can
transfer 1 to 41 integers, the SLC 5/03 and 5/04 can transfer 1 to 103 integers, and
the SLC 5/05 can transfer 1 to 256 integers. Reads or writes that extend beyond the
end of a register file will continue into the next register file. For example, reading
256 elements from N9:128 will read N9:128 to N9:255, then N10:0 to N10:127.
• Channel: Set this to the channel number of the serial port you want to use. Keep in
mind that on the SLC 5/05 channel #1 is the Ethernet channel.
• Target Device: This section holds parameters for the target device.
• Message Timeout: Indicate the number of seconds to wait for the RMC to respond
before determining that the attempt failed. This can be set as low as a few seconds.
• Data Table Address: Enter the address of the first RMC register to read or write in
this field. See the RMC Register Map (Allen-Bradley) for help on addresses.
• Local Node Addr (dec): Enter the node address of this RMC. The node address of
the RMC is set up in the Serial Module Options dialog box, which is described in
Configuring the RMC SERIAL. The node address entered on that screen is in
decimal, so it is recommended that you enter the same number in the dec field.
• Local/Remote and Bridge Parameters: In most applications these will be set to
Local and there will be no bridge parameters. If you are using a bridge then these
parameters will need to be used. However, this is beyond the scope of RMC
documentation. Refer to your Allen-Bradley documentation for instructions on using
these fields.
• Allen-Bradley MicroLogix
The MicroLogix MSG block is displayed as follows:
To edit the parameters of the message block, select the MSG block, enter an unused MSG file in
the MSG File parameter, and double-click Setup Screen. This brings up a dialog with the
following options:
• This Controller: This section holds parameters for the MicroLogix.
• Communication Command: This parameter can be set to PLC5 Read, PLC5 Write,
