RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 eWON® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 102
Thanks to the ABLogix IOServer, the eWON is now able to poll data on SLC500/PLC5 devices by its Ethernet link. Even SLC500 connected
behind your ControlLogix Network becomes available for polling.
With this use of DF1 IOServer, the Serial config can be left unconfigured (baudrate=disabled), only one Topic enabled is required.
You need to use a similar syntax than in ABLogix IOServer.
[DeviceType-] IP Address [, Port, Link]
• DeviceType = type of PLC ( SLC500 or PLC5 )
• IP Address = address on your Ethernet network (i.e.: 10.0.0.50)
•
Port = value from 1 to 3 representing: 1 = Backplane, 2 = Channel A, 3 = Channel B
•
Link could be:
¤ Slot: representing the Slot on the Backplane (0=CPU)
¤ Node ID: value from 0 to 99 (for ControlNet)
¤ IP address
To reach a SLC500 with Ethernet address 10.0.0.60:
Topic A Destination = 10.0.0.60 or
SLC500-10.0.0.60
To reach a PLC5 with Ethernet address 10.0.0.65:
Topic A Destination =
PLC5-10.0.0.65
To reach a SLC500 connected behind a ControlLogix :
Topic A Destination =
10.0.0.80,1,3,2,45 or SLC500-10.0.0.80,1,3,2,45
• 10.0.0.80 = IP address of the ControlLogix
•
1 = BackPlane
•
3 = Slot 3 (COM card in ControlNet)
•
2 = Channel A (of the Card present in Slot 3)
•
45 = NodeID of the SLC500 (in the ControlNet network)
To reach a PLC5 connected behind a ControlLogix :
Topic A Destination =
PLC5-10.0.0.90,1,3,2,44
• 10.0.0.90 = IP address of the ControlLogix
•
1 = BackPlane
•
3 = Slot 3 (COM card)
•
2 = Channel A (of the Card present in Slot 3)
•
44 = NodeID of the PLC5 (in the COM network)
5.6.2.2.3 DH+ polling using ControlLogix gateway
This feature allows the eWON to poll PLC Tags located on a DH+ network, behind a controllogix equipped with one or more DHRIO cards.
Polling is done using eWON EIP protocol.
The DF1 IO server is used to access the “SLC500” PLC family. The ABLOGIX IO server is used to access the “LOGIX” PLC family.
The syntax [Device Type-] IP address [,Port,Link] is still applicable but in this particular case:
the [,Port,Link] part becomes mandatory
The DH+ channel used to reached the “SLC500” PLC must be specified using the “A” or “B” character.
Example: To reach a SLC500 with DH+ node Id 5, using channel A of a DHRIO card at slot 9 of a controllogix at IP address 10.0.30.21.
Topic A Destination = SLC500
-10.0.30.21,1,9,A,5
•
10.0.30.21 = IP address of the ControlLogix
•
1 = BackPlane
•
9 = Slot 9 (COM card)
•
A = Channel A (of the Card present in Slot 9)
•
5 = NodeID of the SLC500 (in the COM network)
