USING ERSC ADD ON INSTRUCTIONS (AOI) WITH RSLOGIX 5000
Insight Automation has authored and made available Add On Instructions (AOI) in order to make your programming
easier to follow. In this document up until this section, when connecting to an Ai2 module regardless of mode; your
PLC program needs to directly access the register data array tags created when you created the Ai2 module’s
instance. The AOIs attach to created Ai2 module’s register data arrays and maps the data into user tags and functions
with meaningful names. There are two separate AOIs for use depending on the operational mode of the module
you want to connect: a ZPA mode AOI and a PLC I/O AOI.
Please note that the use of AOI(s) is purely optional. However, you must
install the EDS file and set the Data Type to INT as previously described
before you can use any AOI.
SELECTING THE PROPER AOI INSTRUCTION
AOI(s) are imported to your specific PLC program file and not into the RSLogix 5000 environment like an EDS file.
The following chart provides a cross-reference for selecting the proper AOI file based upon the Operational Mode:
