Allen-Bradley Configuration

Introduction

This manual describes the procedures used to configure the Allen-Bradley I/O System.

The major configuration steps include:

Network Protocol Installation

Network protocol defines the structure of the software used to communicate between

the PLCs and the MOPs. This step installs the network protocol on the MOP

workstation to match the protocol used in the network PLCs.

System Configuration

The Allen-Bradley I/O System driver supplied by FLSA must be configured before it

can be used to interface with the AB PLCs. This procedure describes I/O polling

parameters, the parameters associated with individual PLCs, the details related to

PLCdepartments, and the PLC memory locations used to process start, stop, and alarm

resetcommands.

Address Configuration

When ECS database points are created, the interface driver associated with the point

must be specified. This section describes the procedure used to associate a database

point with the Allen-Bradley I/O System.

Network Protocol Installation

It is recommended to have

RSLinx installed before the

SDR installation. If you are

installing RSLinx after the

SDR installation, the

workstation must be in

maintenance mode before the

installation.

The network protocol required by the Allen-Bradley I/O system is installed

using Rockwell Software's RSLinx. For each ECS server communicating with

Allen Bradley PLC’s the following product must be purchased from Rockwell:

9355 WABOEMENE RSLinx OEM

Before starting the installation, locate the following items:

• Installation CDs included with the software distribution

• Installation disks included in the RSLinx software distribution

• Master Disk included in the RSLinx software distribution

• Windows NT Installation CD

• Windows NT Service Pack CD

RSLinx Installation

Insert the Rockwell Software RSLinx Disk 1. From Start Menu, Run a:\setup.exe.

Follow the installation program instructions, and install RSLinx with the default

settings.

In the Registration Information window, enter your name, your company, and the serial

number found on the label of the Master Disk.

When the installation is complete, restart the workstation.

Driver Configuration

The specific configuration of RSLinx drivers depends on the type of PLC and the type

of communication link to the PLC. The example below shows how to configure

Ethernet communication to a PLC-5.

Once the workstation is ready, start the RSLinx program by selecting Rockwell

Software ⇒⇒⇒⇒ RSLinx in the desktop Start menu.

Select the Communications menu and then select Configure Drivers.

In the Available Drivers list, choose Ethernet to PLC-5 or 5820-El and click Add New…

Page 7: Allen-Bradley Configuration

Reference Manual Allen-Bradley Configuration Allen-Bradley Configuration •••• 3

The Configure Ethernet-to-AB Communication window appears, select your PLC

station from Current Mappings and enter the PLC IP Address or hostname.

Note that the Station entry (shown in decimal notation) must match the PLC DH+

address.

Click Accept to accept the mapping. Perform this step for all Allen-Bradley PLCs. When finished, click OK.

From the Configure Drivers window, click on the Close command. The network protocol is installed on the NT workstation.

Backup of Driver Configuration

The example below shows how to backup the driver configuration.

Click on the desktop Start command and select Programs ⇒ Rockwell Software

⇒ RSLinx ⇒ Backup & Restore Utility. Click on the Backup command when the screen appears.
