Read/Write Diagnostic Status and Control functions are given in the Diagnostic I/O Bit Map illus-
trated in Figure 9. Definitions of Diagnostic/Configuration Select Switch Settings are provided in
Table 11. Specifications and further explanation of OLC diagnostic functions are provided in Sec-
tions 1.3.3.5-1.3.3.10.
1.3.3.4 1756 PLUG-IN OCXs (Modules with “-D” Diagnostic Option Only)
Monitoring of 1756 Plug-In OCX module diagnostics is provided thru a read status register in the
PLC Processor I/O memory. The 1756 Plug-In OCX module (with “-D” Option) occupies a single
I/O module slot, and simulates a 16 bit input module, addressable to the 1756 I/O module slot it
occupies. Diagnostic function control is provided via Diagnostic Select Switch Settings. (OCX
modules without the “-D” diagnostic option do not have a 1756 bus interface and appear as empty
slots to the processor.)
RSLogix 5000 OCX I/O module configuration is similar to other types of 1756 I/O modules. The
first step is to confirm the OCX module is “Offline”. Next open the “Select Module Type” configu-
ration screen, and select from the list given on the screen the I/O Module Type/Description... “1756-
Module Generic 1756 Module”. This will create a new module “Module Properties” configura-
tion screen. In the “Module Properties” configuration screen, the user must select the “General” tab
and enter and/or select the following I/O module configuration information:
Name: OCX_DPR_x *
Description: Optical Comm Module
Comm Format: Data - DINT
Slot: The I/O slot # where the OCX is located.
Connection Parameters
Assembly Size:
Instance:
Input: 130 2
Output: 197 1
Configuration: 1 8
* Each OCX module must have a unique Name, so that each I/O module in the
I/O configuration can be individually identified and located by RSLogix I/O
configuration software. Therefore, in the example given above, the Name field
“OCX_DPR_” is followed by a variable field “x”, and this field should be
designated by the user as a number (ie. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.) or letter (ie. a, b, c, d, e,
etc.) so that each OCX-DPR module present in the I/O configuration will have a
unique name.
