Testing

Now it is possible to access the data exchanged by the ControlLogix 5000 and the Anybus-S Slave module.
In this case the Anybus Communicator with a loop dongle at the serial port for test purpose is used. The
following chapters explain the editing of the tags and the monitoring of the tags. By writing and reading data
to the tags the communication between the PLC and the Anybus-S Slave module is tested.

Monitoring the tag

Firstly go online and switch to "Remote Run" on the PLC. To monitor the tags, open the "Controller Tags"
window and go to monitor tags . Three tags named "Anybus:C", "Anybus:I" and " Anybus:O" is to be
visible, representing the three instances configuration, input and output. The configuration instance is created
even if we selected its size as zero. The Anybus:I tag is data going from the Anybus-S Slave and Anybus:O
tag holds data going to the Anybus-S Slave.

First enter 01 02 03 04 in the Output Tag, so there is some "data" to read. This can be done just by entering
values for the Output tags . If the network is correctly configured the corresponding Input Tags will obtain
the respective value. The values are depending on the application, in this case the values are just examples.
