ControlNet PLC-5 Hot Backup System

(Including ControlNet PLC-5 Hot Backup Cartridge, Cat. No. 1785-CHBM)

The ControlNet PLC-5 backup system requires a pair of standard

PLC-5/40 or PLC-5/80 ControlNet processors, with I/O connected

remotely over ControlNet.

Note: To use the hot backup system, you must first install a

ControlNet Backup Cartridge (Cat. No. 1785-CHBM) into each PLC-5

processor. Install the cartridges in the processor’s EEPROM memory

module slot.

Use this Quick Start to get your ControlNet PLC-5 backup system up

and running quickly. For more detailed information on this process,

refer to the ControlNet PLC-5 Hot Backup System User Manual

(publication 1785-6.5.24) and the ControlNet PLC-5 Programmable

Controllers User Manual, phase 1.5 (publication 1785.6.5.22).

4XLFN 6WDUW ControlNet PLC-5 Hot Backup System (Including ControlNet PLC-5 Hot Backup Cartridge, Cat. No. 1785-CHBM) The ControlNet PLC-5 backup system requires a pair of standard PLC-5/40 or PLC-5/80 ControlNet processors, with I/O connected remotely over ControlNet. Note: To use the hot backup system, you must first install a ControlNet Backup Cartridge (Cat. No. 1785-CHBM) into each PLC-5 processor. Install the cartridges in the processor’s EEPROM memory module slot.

System Requirements This section describes the components of the basic ControlNet PLC-5 backup system. Hardware • two series F (or later) PLC-5 ControlNet processors (either 1785-L40C15/F or 1785-L80C15/F). Important: Both processors must be the same series and have the same firmware revision.

Installing The Hardware Follow these steps to install the required hardware for your backup system. 1. Set the ControlNet node address numbers for each of the PLC-5 processors. The addresses must be consecutive, with the lower number being odd. For example, a valid node address pair is 1 and 2. You can set the ControlNet node address via the rotary switches on the top of each processor. 2. Insert the ControlNet backup cartridge into the EEPROM slot of each PLC-5 processor.

5. Wire the ControlNet network to the PLC-5 processors and to the I/O adapters being used for the backup system. The network cabling may consist of single or redundant channels. Configuring Your Backup System Before you begin, make sure that you have installed RSLinx, RSLogix5 and RSNetWorx. For more details on installing any of this software, refer to its respective installation documentation.

1. For each processor node of your backup system, you must create two scheduled peer-to-peer messages; one Send and one Receive message for each. These messages must be exactly 5 words in length. 2. Record the Send and Receive message numbers from the odd processor node below: 3. Send message number:__________ 4. Receive message number:__________ 5. You will use these numbers later in the configuration process. 6. For the Requested Packet Interval (RPI), enter a value from 1 to 32,767. 7.

3. Set the following: a. Backup File - This is the 200-word integer data file number created in RSLogix 5 (e.g. N20). b. Odd Node Address - enter the node address of the odd node of the odd/even pair of nodes. c. Send Message - Enter the message number of the Send Scheduled Message from the odd node address. (Refer to the number you recorded earlier.) d. Receive Message - Enter the message number of the Receive Scheduled Message from the odd node address. (Refer to the number you recorded earlier.) e.
