Specifies the PLC type to write to:
•
ControlLogix – This selection enables the full CIP supported interfaces that
provide CIP table read/write capabilities. The ControlLogix PLC family of
PLCs includes the Rockwell ControlLogix, FlexLogix, SoftLogix and other
advanced PLCs. This selection also supports numerous PLCs manufactured
by other manufacturers.
•
MicroLogix – This selection provides support for Rockwell MicroLogix, SLC
and PLC-5 PLCs. These PLCs only support a limited EtherNet/IP interface
that does not include CIP table read/write support. Only Write-to-File and
Read-from-File communication that use PCCC MSG instructions is
provided.
Enter the IP address of the EtherNet/IP PLC in xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format.
Enter the slot number of the PLC controller board. This is only required for
chassis type PLCs such as ControlLogix. For all other PLCs, set this value to 0.
The data type of the Tag or File to write to.
•
SINT – otherwise called 8 bit, or byte sized data
•
DINT – otherwise called 16 bit, or WORD format
•
BOOL – a single Boolean value
•
BIT ARRAY – an array of Boolean values
•
FLOAT – floating point, otherwise called REAL
