SLC 5/04 OS402 and above
SLC 5/03 OS303 and above
PLC-2 writes to DriveLogix5730
PLC-5 reads from DriveLogix5730
SLC reads from DriveLogix5730
SLC 5/05
SLC 5/04 OS402 and above
SLC 5/03 OS303 and above
PLC-2 reads from DriveLogix5730
The following table shows example source and destination tags and
elements for different controller combinations.
Example Source and Destination:
source element N7:10
destination tag "array_1"
The PLC-5, PLC-3, and SLC controllers support logical ASCII addressing so you do not have to
map a compatibility file for MSG instructions initiated by a PLC-5, PLC-3, or SLC controller. Place
the DriveLogix5730 tag name in double quotes (").
You could optionally map a compatibility file. For example, if you enter 10 for the compatibility file,
you enter N10:0 for the destination tag.
source element 010
destination tag 200
The destination tag is the three-digit PLC-2 address you specified for PLC-2 mapping.
source tag "array_1"
destination element N7:10
The PLC-5, PLC-3, and SLC controllers support logical ASCII addressing so you do not have to
map a compatibility file for MSG instructions initiated by a PLC-5, PLC-3, or SLC controller. Place
the DriveLogix5730 tag name in double quotes (").
You could optionally map a compatibility file. For example, if you enter 10 for the compatibility file,
you enter N10:0 for the source tag.
source tag 200
destination element 010
The source tag is the three-digit PLC-2 address you specified for PLC-2 mapping.
When the DriveLogix5730 controller initiates messages to PLC or SLC
controllers, you do not have to map compatibility files. You enter the data
table address of the target device just as you would a tag name.
SLC 5/05 controllers, SLC 5/04 controllers (OS402 and above), and SLC 5/
03 controllers (OS303 and above) support logical ASCII addressing and
support PLC/SLC mapping (see the examples above). For all other SLC or
MicroLogix1000 controllers, you must map a PLC-2 compatibility file (see
the PLC-2 examples above).
