ControlLogix Controller
Example
This section includes information when using an RSLogix 5000 Drive Add-on
Profile or a Generic Profile.
Creating Ladder Logic Using the RSLogix 5000 Drive Add-on Profiles,
Version 16.00 or Later
Since the drive Add-on Profile automatically created descriptive controller tags
(Figure 11
) for the entire I/O image in Chapter 4, you can use these tags to
directly control and monitor the drive without creating any ladder logic program.
However, if you intend to use Human Machine Interface devices (PanelView, and
so forth) to operate the drive and view its status, you will need to create
descriptive user-defined Program tags (Figure 15
) and a ladder logic program that
will pass the Controller tag data to the Program tags.
Figure 15 - ControlLogix Program Tags for Drive Add-on Profile Ladder Logic Program Example
An example ladder logic program that uses the automatically-created descriptive
Controller tags and passes their data to the user-defined Program tags is shown in
Figure 16
and Figure 17. Note that the prefix for the drive Controller tags is
determined by the name assigned when configuring the I/O (Chapter 4
).
