    Chapter Overview 1757-ABRIO This document is a user guide for the 1757-ABRIO module, which allows Rockwell Automation controllers (ProcessLogix or ControlLogix) to communicate with Allen-Bradley 1771 RIO. The module acts as a RIO scanner. This module was developed to facilitate connection to existing analog RIO devices from Logix-based processors.

  • Page 17: Configuring The 1757-Abrio

    Autoconfiguring I/O Racks The first step in building a configuration is to perform an autoconfiguration. The RIO network must be connected to the 1757-ABRIO module and the module must be in “inactive” mode. When using AbRioCfg, you must left click to ATTENTION select/highlight before you can right click to activate menu options.
  • Page 18 All of the racks on one RIO network must operate at the same baud rate. The 1757-ABRIO then sends messages to all possible racks and builds the network rack configuration from the responses. It displays a list of the racks it found in the network tree.
  • Page 19 Configuring the 1757-ABRIO The 1757-ABRIO has been designed to provide fault responses similar to the PLC-5 as well as the PLX and CLX. This provides consistency when integrating existing I/O with new controllers. 6. Right click on each rack in the network tree and select Enter Rack Switch Setting from the menu.

  • Page 20: Adding Block Transfer Modules

    Configuring the 1757-ABRIO This setting tells the 1757-ABRIO what to do if the host processor stops updating the tag that this rack’s discrete data is mapped to. Adding Block Transfer Autoconfiguration can locate the racks present on the network but it cannot detect the I/O modules in those racks.

  • Page 21: Addressing Modes

    Configuring the 1757-ABRIO Addressing Modes Allen-Bradley 1771 racks have three addressing modes - 1/2-slot, 1-slot and 2-slot addressing. The addressing mode is set by switches in the backplane of the chassis and is set on a per-chassis basis. The addressing mode determines how physical block transfer modules map into logical addresses (rack, I/O group and slot).

  • Page 22: Configuring Block Transfer Modules

    The 1757-ABRIO performs scaling between raw I/O data and floating point user values. You send floating point output values to the 1757-ABRIO which it then converts to raw output values using the scaling values you supplied in the configuration. Similarly, the 1757-ABRIO converts raw input data to floating point values, using the scaling you enter.

  • Page 23: Input Scaling

    Configuring the 1757-ABRIO Input Scaling For analog input modules, you supply the floating point values you want the minimum and maximum raw data scaled to. • minimum corresponds to the lowest raw value • maximum corresponds to the maximum raw value...

  • Page 24: Creating Tags

    Before you program the PLX or CLX to read or write to the 1757-ABRIO, you must define the Tags in AbRioCfg. The 1757-ABRIO supports five types of tags. Numeric Read and Numeric Write •...

  • Page 25: Creating A Tag

    The range of values is 100 to 15000 ms. The default is 5000 ms. If the tag time-out is exceeded, the tag times out and the 1757-ABRIO takes appropriate action. 5. Click OK to accept the tag. You can create a maximum of 64 tags, of any combination of types.

  • Page 26: Mapping Data To Tags

    2-10 Configuring the 1757-ABRIO Mapping Data to Tags You map discrete I/O and block transfer modules differently. Discrete I/O When mapping Discrete I/O with flags, drag the I/O Grp 1-7 from the network tree to the location in the tag where you want the data to be located.

    Chapter Accessing Data on the 1757-ABRIO Overview This chapter describes the operating modes of the 1757-ABRIO and describes how to access data on the module from a ProcessLogix or ControlLogix processor, or using OPC/DDE. Modes of Operation There are four modes of operation for the module.

  • Page 30: Active Mode (Run)

    Accessing Data on the 1757-ABRIO When the module is in INACTIVE mode, the RIO network is placed in program mode with input updates but no output updates. The 1757-ABRIO module must be in the Inactive Mode to accept a download. ACTIVE Mode (Run) The module is in ACTIVE mode when it receives a message from either a host processor or from an OPC or DDE server.
