1 Introduction
1.2 System Layout for the MLX200 Control Module
1.1.2 RSLogix 5000 files included with the MLX200 Control Module:
• MLX200_ControlLogix.ACD - preconfigured project for use with
ControlLogix systems
• MLX200_CompactLogix.ACD - preconfigured project for use with
CompactLogix systems
• MLX200_Import.L5X - skeleton application for importing MLX200
AOIs and User Defined Types (UDTs)
• MLX200Communications_[0-3].L5X - RSLogix task for MLX200
communications
• MLX200HMI.APA - MLX200 HMI Project File
• MLX200Conveyor_[0-3].L5X - conveyor update task (used only for
conveyor tracking)
• HMIUpdates.L5X - a RSLogix task that is needed to communicate
with the MLX200 HMI
1.2 System Layout for the MLX200 Control Module
Fig. 1-1 "MLX200 Connection System Layout" on page 1-3 shows an
overall diagram of how the system should be connected. Ethernet port 1
on the MLX200 Control Module should be connected directly to the servo
drive panel. Ethernet port 2 should be connected through an Ethernet
switch to the PC running RSLogix as well as the CompactLogix or
ControlLogix system.
• The Ethernet cable between the MLX Control Module and Drive
Panel must be a Shielded Twisted Pair Cat 5E cable to prevent
noise-related issues that can vary greatly due to location and
system setup. All other cables can be standard Ethernet.
• The Ethernet Switch should not be used to handle any other
network communications besides those shown in the layout. Other
network traffic could cause poor performance or loss of
communications.
