Mapping Data to Tags in
AbRioCfg Software
If you are using a ControlLogix controller, no actions are necessary to
read or write digital data with scheduled connections. Refer to
Scheduled Digital I/O Connections in RSLogix 5000 Programs
on
page 60 for more information.
If you are using a ProcessLogix controller, you need to create flag
read and flag write tags in AbRioCfg software to have access to this
data.
Block Transfers
When mapping block transfer modules, drag the analog module from
the network tree to the location in the tag where you want the data to
be located.
Block transfer read data can be mapped to numeric read tags.
Block transfer write data can be mapped to numeric write tags.
You cannot map individual registers; all the data for a rack or I/O
module is mapped to the tag. You can map data from many I/O
modules into the same tag.
Mappings must be unique. You cannot map a block transfer module
to more than one tag of the same type or to multiple locations within
the same tag.
In addition, block transfer modules have status information that can
be mapped to flag read tags. Refer to Supported 1771 Modules
on
page 83 for detailed information on status information.
TIP
Rack Digital Data
If you would like to use scheduled ControlNet connections to
the 1757-ABRIO module via a ControlLogix controller, do not
map any racks to digital tags. This is done for you when the
scheduled connection is established. Refer to Scheduled Digital
I/O Connections in RSLogix 5000 Programs on page 60 for more
information.
