Appendix F Using PanelView 800 Terminals with CompactLogix 5370 Controllers
CompactLogix 5370
Controller Addressing
The atomic data types supported in CompactLogix 5370 controllers by
PanelView 800 terminals are shown in the table below.
Although some of the predefined types are structures, they are ultimately based
on these atomic data types. Thus, all non-structure (atomic) members of a
structure are accessible.
For example, a TIMER cannot be assigned as a PanelView 800 tag but an atomic
member of the TIMER can be assigned to the tag (for example, TIMER.EN,
TIMER.ACC, and so forth).
If a structure member is a structure itself, both structures would have to be
expanded to access an atomic member of the substructure. This is more common
with user-defined and module-defined types and is not found in any of the
predefined types.
In summary, predefined, module-defined and user-defined data types of the
CompactLogix 5370 controller can be accessed from PanelView 800 terminals
from their respective members, which are based on the above atomic data types
The LINT data type is not supported in CompactLogix 5370 controllers.
Addressing Formats from PanelView 800 Terminals to
CompactLogix 5370 Controllers
When mapping a PanelView 800 terminal tag to a CompactLogix 5370
controller tag, make sure you copy the exact name and format of the controller
tag into the address field of the terminal tag in the Tag Editor.
