Read retrieves data from the DataMan Write sends data to the DataMan.
Read/Write: Select the function you want to perform on a DataMan reader. The following setup parameters can be configured within a Message (MSG) Instruction. Refer to the RSLogix 500 documentation for expanded instructions for developing messages. Message instructions can now be constructed within the application. Consult with a network administrator about settings. Configure Channel 1 (Ethernet) as necessary. The Allen-Bradley SLC has 2 channels available for configuration: Channel 1 (Ethernet) and Channel 0 (DF1 Full Duplex - serial). RSS file, then open the Channel Configuration dialog (Project Folder > Controller Folder > Channel Configuration) From the RSLogix 500 software program, open the.
Setting up the PLC for Ethernet Communication This example uses the Allen-Bradley SLC5/05 and Rockwell 500 software. This section outlines a PCCC (PC 3) Communications configuration between a DataMan reader and the PLC. From this point on, configuration and programming are done exactly as shown in the ControlLogix section above.
From the Select Module dialog, choose your model of DataMan ID Reader from the list.Īfter the selection is completed, the configuration dialog for the DataMan ID Reader system is displayed. Right-click the Ethernet node in the I/O Configuration tree and select New Module. The DataMan module is added in the same way for CompactLogix as for ControlLogix.
This module is configured exactly like a ControlLogix Ethernet module. It is displayed in the I/O Configuration tree as if it were a separate module on the backplane. In the CompactLogix project, the Ethernet logic module is embedded in the CompactLogix processor module.
