#PROBLEMAS CON RSLINX CLASSIC DRIVER#

If you are not familiar with how subnets work, you can look at the Ethernet Addressing section of the ControlLogix Level 1 workbook.ĥ) On the Communications Menu, choose “Configure Drivers”, or you can hit the “Configure Drivers” icon in the standard toolbar.Ħ) Choose “Ethernet Devices” from your driver list.ħ) For this exercise, we will leave the driver name default. Verify that you are in the same subnet as the device you are communicating with. You will see the IP address of your laptop. If the IP address is not written on the device (or scrolling across the alphanumeric display), this may be documented in the offline project for the device.ģ) From your command prompt, type “ipconfig” all one word, no quotes.

You can use a crossover cable to connect directly to the device, or a standard patch cable, if you are connecting through a switch.Ģ) We must know the IP address of the device we are connecting to. For example: If we flash a ControlLogix processor over Ethernet, the process may take just a couple minutes, but over an RS232 connection, this could take over an hour!ġ) First we must make the connection to the network. DF1) is the the communication speed is generally much faster. Then, you can modify the tag in the formula for that cell.The “Ethernet Devices” Driver can be set up in RSLinx to communicate with Ethernet devices such as a ControlLogix Ethernet module, SLC 5/05 processor, an Ethernet PLC-5 processor, and many others. Now that you have the topic created, and the data is updating, you can just re-paste this link as many times as you like. Right-click a cell and choose “Paste Special”.Īt last, we see the value is updating in real time.

#PROBLEMAS CON RSLINX CLASSIC UPDATE#

Our goal is to paste the accumulated value into a cell, so it can update in real time (Or near real time). In this instance, I’m using Openoffice Calc. Click on Edit (from the menu bar), then Copy OPC/DDE topic.įinally, browse for the tag “MyTimer.ACC” as shown, then press OK.Īt last, I will open the spreadsheet program. Thirdly, we need to copy the link from RSLinx, so we can paste the topic into our spreadsheet. If you need this to update faster, go to the “Data Collection” tab, to change the update time. Be sure the name of the topic, and the processor are both highlighted at the same time. Then I created a topic named “MyTopic”, and pointed this shortcut to the processor. In order to access the topics, we will open RSLinx. The topic will act as a “shortcut” to our processor.

I’ve set up this timer simply to demonstrate how to display the data in a spreadsheet. When the accumulated value of the timer reaches, the preset, this timer will start all over. Our goal in this example is to display the accumulated value in an OpenOffice (Or LibreOffice) spreadsheet. Exampleįirst of all, let’s take a look at some code in the processor.

You can also use this feature for reporting, trending, etc. The next time the equipment fails, you can simply open the spreadsheet to see what condition is not met. If your equipment fails to start, you can open a spreadsheet that has all of the conditions listed that must be met before the equipment will run. One reason is to create a troubleshooting tool. There are many reasons you would want to do this.
