Command Central P/N 419441-2R
Command Central 2 Overview Command Central allows the AutoMax Programming Executive to communicate with AutoMax processors by means of RSLinx and a 56AMXN module in a ControlLogix chassis. Command Central acts as a virtual PC Link card. Command Central intercepts messages destined for a PC Link card and sends them, using RSLinx, to the 56AMXN module.
Command Central 3 Installation The AutoMax Programming Executive and RSLinx should be installed before you install Command Central. The AutoMax Programming Executive should not be running when you install Command Central If you have not already done so, install the AutoMax Programming Executive. If you have not installed the PC Link Virtual Device Driver, do not do so. Just install Command Central instead.
Command Central 4 Configuration There are three steps to getting the AutoMax Programming Executive communicating with the AutoMax processor using Command Central: 1. Add and configure an RSLinx driver to communicate with the communications module in the chassis with the 56AMXN. 2. Configure Command Central with the path to the 56AMXN module. 3. Configure the AutoMax Programming Executive to use a PC Link card.
Command Central 5 Configuring the AutoMax Programming Executive 1. Run the Programming Executive and select Setup/Communication… 2. Set the Communication Type to PC Link Interface Module. 3. Set the Drop Number to any valid drop number that isn’t being used by an AutoMax processor that you are going to program. (The setting doesn’t matter but the software will not show its own drop number in the list of available AutoMax processors). 4.
