Accessing AutoMax Data on the AN-X-DCSLOG
You can use a DDE or OPC server, such as RSLinx, to access the DCS data directly on
the AN-X-DCSLOG. The module maps AutoMax data to PLC-5 integer files N100 to
N155. Each file corresponds to a DCS drop. For example, data on drop 2 in found in file
N102, registers N102:0 to N102:63.
The AN-X-DCSLOG supports Word Range read and Typed read messages, with either
logical ASCII or logical binary addressing.
Example: RSLinx
To configure a topic in RSLinx to access data on the AN-X-DCSLOG:
1. Select Communications/Configure Drivers…
2. From the list of Available Driver Types:, select Remote Devices via Linx
Gateway and click Add New…
3. Give the driver a name
4. For Server’s IP Address or hostname: enter the IP address of the
AN-X-DCSLOG and click OK.
