Tag Name
PLC-2 controllers Tag Name
The DriveLogix5730 controller can process messages initiated from PLC or
SLC controllers. These messages use data table addresses. In order for these
controllers to access tags within the DriveLogix5730 controller, you map
tags to data table addresses.
Mapping Addresses
The programming software includes a PLC/SLC mapping tool which allows
you to make an existing controller array tag in the local controller available
to PLC-2, PLC-3, PLC-5, or SLC controllers.
To map addresses:
1. From the Logic menu, select Map PLC/SLC Messages.
2. Specify this information:
Specify:
Type the file number of the data table in the PLC/SLC controller. 10
Type the array tag name the local controller uses to refer to the
PLC/SLC data table address. The tag must be an integer array
(SINT, INT, or DINT) that is large enough for the message data.
Type the tag name to be the PLC-2 compatibility file.
TIP: You can map as many tags as you want to a PLC-3, PLC-5, or SLC
controller. You can map only one tag to a PLC-2 controller.
