Chapter 19 Use GuardPLC Controller as an Adapter
Refer to the Enhanced and Ethernet PLC-5 Programmable Controllers
User Manual, publication 1785-UM012
, or to the SLC 500 Modular
Hardware Style User Manual, publication 1747-UM011
, for more
information on configuring these controllers for Ethernet
communication.
You will also need RSLogix 5 programming software to configure the
PLC-5 controller or RSLogix 500 programming software to configure
the SLC 5/05 controller.
Follow these steps to enable communication between the GuardPLC
controller, acting as an adapter (target), and a PLC-5 or SLC 5/05
controller.
1. Create a GuardPLC adapter Assembly Instance (input or output),
including the data type, assembly size, and assembly name. See
pages 215
and 216.
2. Configure an EtherNet/IP driver for the PLC-5 or SLC 5/05
controller by using RSLinx software.
3. Add a MSG instruction to the PLC-5 or SLC 5/05 application
program logic.
4. Save and download your application.
These steps are described in more detail beginning on page 237
.
For detailed information on the MSG Instruction, refer to these
publications:
• PLC-5 Programmable Controllers Instruction Set Reference
Manual, publication 1785-6.1
.
• SLC 500 Instruction Set Reference Manual, publication
1747-RM001

TIP
Make sure the Run/Idle header box is unchecked as
PCCC messages do not use a Run/Idle header.
