For: In this field:
PLC-3, PLC-5, and File Number
SLC controllers
Tag Name
PLC-2 controllers Tag Name
Type of MSG Instruction:
PLC-5 writes to DriveLogix5730
SLC writes to DriveLogix5730
SLC 5/05
SLC 5/04 OS402 and above
SLC 5/03 OS303 and above
PLC-2 writes to DriveLogix5730
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.
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.
