Communication Chapter 9
Generic Ethernet Module Connection, RSLogix 5000 Software
Version 19 and Earlier
1. To create a connection to a PowerMonitor 5000 unit, choose the Ethernet
network under the applicable communication adapter in the
I/O tree.
2. Right-click and choose New Module from the menu.
3. Enter the power monitor IP address, and the values shown in this figure
for the input, output, and configuration instances.
4. Click OK when finished.
The generic Ethernet module connection creates three controller tags in the
Logix project, as identified by the Input, Output, and Configuration assembly
instances. These assembly instances identify the ScheduledData.Input Data,
ScheduledData.Output Data, and Configuration.Instance data tables. These data
tables are described in Appendix A
. The Input instance and Configuration
instances contain various data types. You must create controller tags and write
controller logic to copy the Input and Configuration instance data into a usable
form.
DeviceNet I/O Connection
The DeviceNet Class 1 connection creates implicit communication between the
DeviceNet scanner and the PowerMonitor 5000 unit. With this connection, you
can read power monitor parameters into a Logix controller and control the power
monitor discrete outputs. The DeviceNet network connection excludes the
configuration instance of the PowerMonitor 5000 unit. You can use a web
browser for configuring the power monitor, except that when a DeviceNet
network connection is active, the web browser is not permitted to change the
Configuration.OptionalComm.DNT setup values or execute output forcing
commands.
It is not necessary to establish an I/O connection to allow explicit messaging with
a DeviceNet PowerMonitor 5000 unit that is connected on a DeviceNet
network.
