Return to Configure Drivers, see AB_DF1-1 DH485 sta: 0 com1: RUNNING in the Configured Drivers, and click Close. Go back to Configure Drivers and see AB_ETH-1 A-B Ethernet RUNNINGĪvailable Drivers–Select RS-232 DF1 Devices and click Add new to enter Configure Allen-Bradley DF1 Communications Deviceįill in the serial port number in Comm Port, Device must select SLC-CH0 / Micro / PanelView, and then click Auto-Configure, see Auto Configuration Successful on the right! Click OK. After filling in the IP address, click Accept įill in the IP address of the computer, click Accept, and click OK. In the window Configure Driver for Ethernet to PLC-5 or 5820-EI, the user must specify the IP address of the SLC to communicate between the Ethernet SLC and the computer. In Add New Rslinx Driver, the device name specified by the user (generally the default is acceptable), click OKĮnter Configure Driver for Ethernet to PLC-5 or 5820-EI In the Configure Drivers- Available Drivers dialog box, select Ethernet to PLC-5 or 5820-EIĬlick Add new to enter the Add New Rslinx Driver dialog box. In the Rslinx software form menu, select Communications- Configure Drivers Whether its gluing, sealing, stamping, or assembling, each module has specific features to make programming and implementation quick and easy.(1) RS232 serial cable (model: 1747-CP3) connects the computer serial port and SLC serial port. Each module has such necessary features as speed compensation, output ANDing, and output enable/disable. The 8500 series modules contain up to 16 high speed I/O as well as 16 additional outputs through the module's backplane connection to the PLC. The 2541 provides 6 high speed inputs and outputs directly connected to the module. These programmable limit switch modules provide the high-speed switching capability of a PLS in combination with direct communication with the PLC.ĪMCI has created several versions of the programmable limit switch module. AMCI changed all of that by developing PLS modules for the SLC-500. However a major drawback of the stand-alone PLS was that communicating with the PLC was difficult. Industry began using programmable limit switches (PLS) as a direct replacement for mechanical cam switches because they are easier to set up, and changes can be made quickly and easily.
