16.4.5 CONFIGURING THE Flex/Compact/ControlLogix
When creating a project with the RSLogix 5000 software, create Controller Tag single dimension arrays of: integer, double
integer, timer, counter and bit.
For example: Create an array called N007 selecting INT as the data type. Set the "Dim 0" field to the number of integers you
needed to access with the HMI (Dim 0 = xxx, Dim 1and 2 fields are set to zero). Set the scope to the entire project.
For Bits the V_BOOL type is not needed. Map bits as INT type arrays (i.e. B003 INT[100])
The HMI handles Device Addresses as numerical inputs. Controller Tags need to be mapped to a PLC/SLC data file. This puts
them in a format so that the HMI can access them as though it is communicating to an SLC processor.
•
Select "Logic | Map PLC/SLC Messages..." from the Menu Bar.
•
Specify the file number and the Controller Tag array to be assigned to it.
For example: For file number 7, specify the N007 array.
•
Continue this process until all desired tag arrays are mapped.
Note: File types below 9 must be mapped as per SLC designations (i.e. T004 must be mapped to file 4). File types above 9 can
be any array type (i.e. B011 can be mapped to File 15, but remember, the HMI device address must then be 15, not 11, for this
array!).
After finishing the RSLogix project, configure the serial port to which the HMI is connected. Note the communications settings
and make sure they match the settings in the MMI. Make sure that the port is set for point-to-point communications and CRC
error checking is selected.
Notes for addressing data with the MMI
1. INT types can only be read as 1 word even though the setup software allows 2 words for this data type.
2. Leading zeroes do not need to be provided for the FFF portion of an address.
3. The file "Type" does not need to be repeated in the Device Address field.
4. Only put the raw address in the Device Address field. Extra ".", "/", and spaces are not allowed. For example: To access Bit
8 of B003 array element 14, select B_BOOL for the Device Type, and put 301408 in the Device Address field.
5. See section "16.3.5 Entering A-B Device addresses" for examples of Device Address entry.
6. Input and Output types are not implemented. You need to map these to B or N files so that the HMI can access their data.
