For ControlLogix with an Ethernet card, enter 2 as well. Enter the Port Number of the Ethernet card you are using ( LocalENB,2).įor CompactLogix with the built in Ethernet Port, enter 2.Enter a comma after the Ethernet card ( LocalENB, ).Choose the Ethernet card you are using and select OK.Click on Browse to choose the Ethernet port of the PLC that you are using.You also define the IP Address of the panel in this window. To Define the Port being used on the PLC ( Ethernet Port on PLC CPU in ControlLogix and Ethernet card in ControlLogix) to communicate to the Panel. The PLC's Source Element (or Data File in other PLCs), which in the figure shown above is WriteBuffer, needs to be sufficiently large to accommodate all of the Output Data in the Panel that is setup through the C-more Panel Manager's Maximum Output Field.Ĭommunication Tab Message Configuration Dialog Box Setup - Communication Tab Select Service Type 0x10, which is Set Attribute Single.To configure the Message to write the Output Data to the C-more Panel: Select Service Type 0x0e, which is Get Attribute Single.Ĭonfiguration Tab - Write Output Data to the C-more Panel.To configure the Message to read the Output Data from the C-more panel: Be sure that the array you create is an Integer (INT) Data Type.Ĭonfiguration Tab - Read Output Data from the C-more Panel Note: This value is expressed in Bytes in RSLogix but in Words in the C-more Panel Manager. The PLC's Destination Array (or Data File in other PLCs), which is DataRead in the figure shown above, needs to be sufficiently large to accommodate all of the Input Data in the Panel that is set up through the C-more Panel Manager Maximum Input Field.īe sure that the array you create is an Integer (INT) Data Type. Select Service Type 0x0e which is Get Attribute Single.To configure the Message to read the Input Data from the C-more Panel: This box is discussed in the section below.Ĭonfiguration Tab Message Configuration Dialog Box Setup - Configuration Tab The Message Configuration dialog box shown below opens. Now click on the three dots button next to the Data Type field. Click on the OK button to accept changes and close the New Tag window. Select Message for the Data Type field and select ( Controller) for the Scope field. The New Tag dialog box for declaring the Data Type for the MSG instruction name will open.To do this, right click on the name and select the name just given. Next declare this name as a MESSAGE Data Type.In the sample below MSG Name is CmorePanelRead. The first thing to do in the ControlLogix and CompactLogix is to create an MSG instruction.These instructions show the correct codes to use for Explicit Messaging to the C-more panel.

EtherNet/IP is generic and can be used with many different platforms. We will not attempt to outline all of the specific instructions to set up Explicit Messaging via EtherNet/IP.
RSLOGIX 500 MSG INSTRUCTION DRIVER
The C-more Panel Manager is shown above with the Generic EtherNet/IP driver selected. From the Setup drop-down menu, select the Panel Manager selection.įrom the Panel Manager window click on the DEV001 on the tree to the left to open the Device Setup screen of the Panel Manager window shown below.įrom the PLC Protocol field, click on the down arrow and select the Allen-Bradley EtherNet/IP Server (Generic IO Messaging) (Control/CompactLogix MSG) selection.Īll settings must be set the same as the settings in Panel Manager in the C-more Programming Software. To access the Panel Manager from the C-more Programming Software, from the Main Menu select Setup. The C-more panel is a SLAVE when communicating via Allen-Bradley EtherNet/IP Server ( Generic IO Messaging) ( Control/CompactLogix). The following information applies for Allen-Bradley PLCs for the purpose of setting up Explicit Messaging via EtherNet/IP. Allen-Bradley Generic EtherNet/IP Explicit Messaging Setup
