Appendix C. Vendor Information

If EIP Error Code 100 is experienced when using a ControlLogix PLC Message block to read and write data to and

from the FieldServer, it may be possible to resolve this error by choosing to cache the connection in the message

block settings

Appendix C.2. Connection information – Allen Bradley Message Blocks

The Driver is not able to split data between 2 Data Arrays when writing, or to read a Server mapping that is

discontinuous.

For example, on the Server Side:

If:

Server map 1: N21: 0-31

Server map 2: N21: 32-100

This will panic the FieldServer and crash RS view as the DH+ will attempt to map N21: 0-100. If set up as Server

Map 1: N21: 0-100, no problems are experienced.

Similarly on the Client Side, it is not possible to read sections e.g. 32bits to one array and then 16bits from the

same file type to another array etc. Read Blocks must be contiguous.

If RSlinx does not recognise the FieldServer (message "? Unrecognized Device"), load the Ethernet IP EDS file into

RSLinx. This file is available at:

single file and browse to the location of the Ethernet IP EDS file.

Run RSlinx, press communication|RSwho and all EIP devices on the network should be visible.
