3 Click P RINT to print the input and output maps for reference. Note that you
must do this separately for each of input and output map by first clicking on
the I
NPUTS
radio button and then the P
RINT
button; then, click on the
O UTPUTS
radio button and then the P
RINT
button, again.
4 When you have finished printing the processor memory maps, you can click
OK to close the dialog box and click OK again to close the Master Setup
dialog box; or, leave them open for the next step, exporting the processor
files.
5 Keep the printed memory maps available so you can refer to them when you
configure the sample ladder logic in RSLogix. The sample ladder logic
contains input and output arrays that must be cross-referenced with the
variables.
2.3.4 Exporting the Processor Files Prior to PCB v2.2.0
NOTE: This is an optional step which is not required to set up your application, regardless of the
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) version you are using. The release of PCB version 2.2.0 has
made this particular procedure obsolete. This topic has been left in the User Manual solely as
historical reference, in case you need to understand how older versions of PCB previously
functioned.
PCB versions prior to version 2.2.0 will create a text file containing the Processor
Network Memory Map that you printed in the previous step, which can be
imported into RSLogix 5000 as user-defined data types MVI56PDPMV1_PBInF
and MVI56PDPMV1_PBOutF. This simplifies the task of adding data types to
handle input and output from the PROFIBUS slaves in your ladder logic.
The sample program stores the PROFIBUS I/O data into two SINT arrays. If you
choose to use this export option, the data types exported will reflect the data
types that you have configured for your PROFIBUS network slave configuration.
If you decide to use this functionality, you must develop extra ladder logic to copy
the PROFIBUS data between controller tags defined with these data types and
the standard SINT arrays.
