    PanelMate ControlNet Communication Driver Manual CIP References These types of references are used to access message tags that represent data within the PLC. References to these message tags are created and sent using CIP message protocol. This protocol requires the message tag name, the data type, the offset, and the request length. All of this information is entered by the user except the data type.

    Chapter 5: Memory Addressing and Communications to the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Using Control Information Protocol (CIP) Messaging ControlNet Messaging The PanelMate Power Pro ControlNet driver communicates on ControlNet using the unscheduled portion of network bandwidth. ControlNet can be characterized as having both the older Remote I/O and Data Highway Plus communications capabilities combined onto a single network.

  • Page 32: Controllogix Addressing Using Plc-5 Or Slc Address Syntax

    PanelMate ControlNet Communication Driver Manual make sense to define all user created variables as single controller tags with descriptive alphanumeric names. This would serve the same purpose of assigning symbolic names within a PLC-5 or SLC program so that the user doesn’t have to memorize or look up cryptic addresses. The problem with using all individual controller tags has to do with being able to read the ControlLogix data table efficiently using unscheduled messaging.

    Chapter 5: Memory Addressing and Communications to the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Using Control Information Protocol (CIP) Messaging F8:15). This allows PLC-5 and SLC users who migrate applications to ControlLogix PLC’s to minimize reprogramming efforts. This requires the user to associate tags and tag arrays with PLC-5 or SLC file numbers.
