If you want the module to:
Use the same configuration
Then:
Request a configuration from a BOOTP server
Notes:
This disables BOOTP for the module. It no longer requests a configuration from BOOTP servers.
• This leaves BOOTP enabled for the module. When you turn off the module, it loses its configuration information.

Create Aliases
In this task, you convert tags in your programs to aliases for I/O points or channels (devices). As an alias for an I/O point or channel, each tag:
• provides a descriptive name for the device that is wired to the point or channel
• represents the value of the point or channel. When one changes, the other reflects the change.
EXAMPLE
Create aliases
The following logic was initially programmed using descriptive tag names, such as start and motor . Later, the tags were converted to aliases for the corresponding I/O devices.
start is an alias for the push button that is wired to point 1 of the module that is in slot 2 of the local chassis. When the push button is on, start is on.
motor is an alias for the starter contactor that is wired to point 0 of the module that is in slot 0 of a remote chassis (named conveyor).
When motor turns on, the starter contactor turns on.

When you finish, the Tags window should look similar to the following:
Tag Name start
Alias For conveyor:1:I.Data.1(C)
Base Tag conveyor:1:I.Data.1(C) start is an alias for point 1 of the input module that is in slot 1 of a remote chassis (named conveyor).

Alias For conveyor:1:I.Data.1(C)
Base Tag conveyor:I.Slot[1].Data.1(C) start is an alias for point 1 of the input module that is in slot 1 of a remote chassis (named conveyor).
Because the module uses the Rack Optimization format, a structure associated with the communication module in the remote chassis actually transfers the data.

Organize Your Data Organize your data for the PanelView based on how the data is used.
For data that is: time-critical (e.g., controls a machine)
Do this:
Use the I/O tags of the PanelView.
not time critical
The tags for this data were created when you added the PanelView to the I/O configuration
of the controller. They are similar to the tags of I/O modules. See Table 6.A.
Create arrays to store the data:
1. For each PanelView screen, create a BOOL array with enough elements for the bit-level objects on the screen.
For example, the BOOL[32] array gives you 32 bits for push buttons, indicators, etc.
2. For each PanelView screen, create a DINT array with enough elements for the word-level objects on the screen.
For example, the DINT[28] array, give you 28 values for numeric entry controls, numeric displays, etc.
To access the I/O tags of the PanelView, use the following address format:
Table 6.A Address format for the I/O tags of a PanelView
If the:
PanelView writes the data
PanelView reads the data
Then use this address: name_of_panelview:I.Data[x].y
name_of_panelview:O.Data[x].y
Where: x
Is: name_of_panelview name of the PanelView instance in the I/O configuration of the controller element of the PanelView input (I) or output (O) structure.

To address the PanelView data in your logic, you can have the following options:

• copy the tags to other tags in your project
• create alias tags
EXAMPLE
Address PanelView data
This rung uses these I/O tags of the PanelView: pv_a:I.Data[2].0
and pv_a:I.Data[2].1
. The rung controls a motor.
When a push button on the PanelView is pressed, this rung clears a value. The push button uses bit 4 of the screen_a_bit array.
This rung moves counter.ACC
(a DINT value) to element 5 of the screen_a_DINT array. A numeric display on the PanelView shows the value.

If your message reads or writes integers (not REALs), use a buffer of INTs in the message.
•
ControlLogix controllers execute more efficiently and use less memory when working with 32-bit integers (DINTs). Use the
DINT data type for integers whenever possible.
•
In this procedure, you use a PLC-5 Typed Read or PLC-5
Typed Write message, which requires 16-bit integers.
•
Use an INT buffer in the message and move the data into or out of the buffer as required.

The following examples show how to use a buffer of INTs
EXAMPLE condition
Read integers from an RSView project
When condition turns on, reads 16-bit integer values (INTs) and stores them in int_buffer . Then the FAL instruction moves the values to dint_array . This converts the values to 32-bit integers (DINTs), for use by other instructions in the ControlLogix controller.

ATTENTION
!
If communication with a module fails, the controller operates on old data from the module. To avoid potential injury or damage, either monitor communications with modules or configure modules to produce a major fault if communications fail.
If you want the controller to: fault (major fault) continue operating

Create Aliases In this task, you convert tags in your programs to aliases for I/O points or channels (devices). As an alias for an I/O point or channel, each tag:
• provides a descriptive name for the device that is wired to the point or channel
• represents the value of the point or channel. When one changes, the other reflects the change.
EXAMPLE
Create aliases
The following logic was initially programmed using descriptive tag names, such as start and motor . Later, the tags were converted to aliases for the corresponding I/O devices.
start is an alias for the push button that is wired to point 1 of the module that is in slot 2 of the local chassis. When the push button is on, start is on.
motor is an alias for the starter contactor that is wired to point 0 of the module that is in slot 0 of a remote chassis (named conveyor).
When motor turns on, the starter contactor turns on.

When you finish, the Tags window should look similar to the following:
Tag Name start
Alias For conveyor:1:I.Data.1(C)
Base Tag conveyor:1:I.Data.1(C) start is an alias for point 1 of the input module that is in slot 1 of a remote chassis (named conveyor).
TIP
Even if the I/O module uses the Rack Optimization Comm Format, address the required point as described in step F.
Tag Name start
Alias For conveyor:1:I.Data.1(C)
Base Tag conveyor:I.Slot[1].Data.1(C) start is an alias for point 1 of the input module that is in slot 1 of a remote chassis (named conveyor).
Because the module uses the Rack Optimization format, a structure associated with the communication module in the remote chassis actually transfers the data.
However, the ladder logic displays the address of the data within the structure for the communication module (e.g., ENB, CNB): start

Convert the INTs to DINTs
Enter the following rung:
After the MSG instruction reads data from a module ( BTR.DN
is on), this rung converts the INT values from the BT module to DINT values for use in the project:
•
The MOV instruction sets the length of the FAL instruction equal to the number of elements that the MSG reads.
• The FAL instruction then loads the values from BTR_int_buffer_read into BT_input . This converts the values to
DINTs for use in the project.
• BTR_index determines where in the first dimension of BT_input to store the values. Each element of this dimension corresponds to a specific BT module.

1.
Enter the following rung:
After the MSG instruction reads data from a module and the FAL converts it to DINTs ( BTR_ints_to_dints.DN
is on), the
ADD instruction increments the BTR_index . This lets the MSG instruction read the next module.

2.
Enter the following rung:
If the EQU instruction is true, the MSG instruction has read the last BT module. The CLR instruction resets BTR_index to zero. This lets the MSG instruction start the series of reads again, starting with the first module.

Rule 1: Enable no more than 16 messages at one time (including block transfers).
Rule 2: Enable no more than 10 of the following types of messages at one time:
•
CIP data table reads or writes that are not cached
• CIP generic
• PLC2, PLC3, PLC5, or SLC (all types)
• block transfer reads or writes that are not cached
If the number of messages in your application exceeds rules 1 and 2, then stagger the execution of your messages. Here are some options:
•

Create Aliases In this task, you convert tags in your programs to aliases for I/O points or channels (devices). As an alias for an I/O point or channel, each tag:
• provides a descriptive name for the device that is wired to the point or channel
• represents the value of the point or channel. When one changes, the other reflects the change.
EXAMPLE
Create aliases
The following logic was initially programmed using descriptive tag names, such as start and motor . Later, the tags were converted to aliases for the corresponding I/O devices.
start is an alias for the push button that is wired to point 1 of the module that is in slot 2 of the rail named conveyor . When the push button is on, start is on.
motor is an alias for the starter contactor that is wired to point 0 of the module that is in slot 1 of the rail named conveyor . When motor turns on, the starter contactor turns on.

Step 7: Stagger the
Messages
As you add messages to your project, you may have to coordinate the execution of the messages. To avoid errors and assure that each message is processed, follow these rules:
Rule 1: Enable no more than 16 messages at one time (including block transfers).
Rule 2: Enable no more than 10 of the following types of messages at one time:
•
CIP data table reads or writes that are not cached
• CIP generic
• PLC2, PLC3, PLC5, or SLC (all types)
• block transfer reads or writes that are not cached
If the number of messages in your application exceeds rules 1 and 2, then stagger the execution of your messages. Here are some options:
•
Send each message in sequence
•
Send the messages in groups that are within the limits of rules 1 and 2
Step 8: Access

Monitor Connections
Use this procedure to alert the system to the loss of communication with a device (module) in the I/O configuration of the controller. For example:
• failure of a module
• loss of power to a chassis
• failure of a communication module
• break in a cable
If the controller losses communication with a module:
•
Data from that device does not update.
•
The logic makes decisions on data that may or may not be correct.
EXAMPLE
Loss of communication
Controller B requires data from controller A. If communication fails between the controllers, then controller B continues to act on the last data that it received from controller A.

Step 2: Create Aliases In this step, you convert tags in your programs to aliases for I/O points (devices). As an alias for an I/O point, each tag:
• provides a descriptive name for the device that is wired to the point
• represents the value of the point. When one changes, the other reflects the change.
EXAMPLE
Create aliases
The following logic was initially programmed using descriptive tag names, such as start and motor . Later, the tags were converted to aliases for the corresponding I/O devices.
start is an alias for the push button at bit 1 of word 0 of the module
(1756-DNB) in slot 5 of the local chassis. When the push button is on, start is on.
motor is an alias for the starter contactor at bit 0 of word 0 of the module (1756-DNB) in slot 5 of the local chassis. When motor turns on, the starter contactor turns on.

•
ControlLogix controllers execute more efficiently and use less memory when working with 32-bit integers (DINTs). Use the
DINT data type for integers whenever possible.
•
PLC-5 and SLC 500 controllers require 16-bit integers.

The following examples show how to use a buffer of INTs
EXAMPLE condition
Read integers from a PLC-5 controller
When condition turns on, reads 16-bit integer values (INTs) and stores them in int_buffer . Then the FAL instruction moves the values to dint_array . This converts the values to 32-bit integers (DINTs), for use by other instructions in the ControlLogix controller.

Stagger the Messages As you add messages to your project, you may have to coordinate the execution of the messages. To avoid errors and assure that each message is processed, follow these rules:
Rule 1: Enable no more than 16 messages at one time (including block transfers).
Rule 2: Enable no more than 10 of the following types of messages at one time:
•
CIP data table reads or writes that are not cached
• CIP generic
• PLC2, PLC3, PLC5, or SLC (all types)
• block transfer reads or writes that are not cached
If the number of messages in your application exceeds rules 1 and 2, then stagger the execution of your messages. Here are some options:
•

The following examples show how to use a buffer of INTs
EXAMPLE condition
Read integers from a MicroLogix controller
When condition turns on, reads 16-bit integer values (INTs) and stores them in int_buffer . Then the FAL instruction moves the values to dint_array . This converts the values to 32-bit integers (DINTs), for use by other instructions in the ControlLogix controller.

As you add messages to your project, you may have to coordinate the execution of the messages. To avoid errors and assure that each message is processed, follow these rules:
Rule 1: Enable no more than 16 messages at one time (including block transfers).
Rule 2: Enable no more than 10 of the following types of messages at one time:
• CIP data table reads or writes that are not cached
• CIP generic
• PLC2, PLC3, PLC5, or SLC (all types)
• block transfer reads or writes that are not cached
If the number of messages in your application exceeds rules 1 and 2, then stagger the execution of your messages. Here are some options:
•
Send each message in sequence
•
Send the messages in groups that are within the limits of rules 1 and 2

An FAL instruction converts the INTs to 32-bit integers (DINTs).
Logix5000 controllers execute more efficiently and use less memory when working with DINTs.
3.
The MSG instruction reads the next module. This procedures lets you vary the number of INTs that you read from each module.

Convert the INTs to DINTs
1.
Enter the following rung:
After the MSG instruction reads data from a module ( BTR.DN
is on), this rung converts the INT values from the BT module to DINT values for use in the project:
•
The MOV instruction sets the length of the FAL instruction equal to the number of elements that the MSG reads.
• The FAL instruction then loads the values from BTR_int_buffer_read into BT_input . This converts the values to
DINTs for use in the project.
• BTR_index determines where in the first dimension of BT_input to store the values. Each element of this dimension corresponds to a specific BT module.

Stagger the Messages As you add messages to your project, you may have to coordinate the execution of the messages. To avoid errors and assure that each message is processed, follow these rules:
Rule 1: Enable no more than 16 messages at one time (including block transfers).
Rule 2: Enable no more than 10 of the following types of messages at one time:
•
CIP data table reads or writes that are not cached
• CIP generic
• PLC2, PLC3, PLC5, or SLC (all types)
• block transfer reads or writes that are not cached
If the number of messages in your application exceeds rules 1 and 2, then stagger the execution of your messages. Here are some options:
•
Send each message in sequence
•
Send the messages in groups that are within the limits of rules 1 and 2

Read integers from a PLC-5 controller
When condition turns on, reads 16-bit integer values (INTs) and stores them in int_buffer . Then the FAL instruction moves the values to dint_array . This converts the values to 32-bit integers (DINTs), for use by other instructions in the ControlLogix controller.

As you add messages to your project, you may have to coordinate the execution of the messages. To avoid errors and assure that each message is processed, follow these rules:
Rule 1: Enable no more than 16 messages at one time (including block transfers).
Rule 2: Enable no more than 10 of the following types of messages at one time:
•
CIP data table reads or writes that are not cached
• CIP generic
• PLC2, PLC3, PLC5, or SLC (all types)
• block transfer reads or writes that are not cached
If the number of messages in your application exceeds rules 1 and 2, then stagger the execution of your messages. Here are some options:

Step 4: Send the Message A.
Enter the following logic:
Serial_port [1] contains the status of the modem signals. When bit 3 is on (DCD is high), the modem is receiving the carrier from the remote modem and communication is established. At this point, the message is sent to the remote controller.

B.
If your message is to a PLC-5
®
or SLC 500
™
controller and it reads or writes integers (not REALs), use a buffer of INTs in the message.
•
ControlLogix controllers execute more efficiently and use less memory when working with 32-bit integers (DINTs). Use the
DINT data type for integers whenever possible.
•
PLC-5 and SLC 500 controllers require 16-bit integers.
•
Use an INT buffer in the message and move the data into or out of the buffer as required.
Publication 1756-UM001E-EN-P - August 2002
Configure Dial-Up Communications 23-7
The following examples show how to use a buffer of INTs
EXAMPLE
Read integers from a PLC-5 controller
When serial_port[1].3
turns on, reads 16-bit integer values (INTs) and stores them in int_buffer . Then the FAL instruction moves the values to dint_array . This converts the values to 32-bit integers (DINTs), for use by other instructions in the ControlLogix controller.

Program Motion Control 24-19
Develop Logic for Motion
Control
To write a motion application program, you can insert motion instructions directly into your ladder logic program.
The motion instructions operate on one or more axes. You must identify and configure axes before you can use them. For more information about configuring axes, see the ControlLogix Motion
Module Setup and Configuration Manual , publication 1756-UM006.
For more information on individual motion instructions, see the
Logix5000 Controllers Motion Instruction Set Reference Manual , publication 1756-RM007.
Each motion instruction has an operand named Motion control. This field uses a MOTION_INSTRUCTION tag to store status information during the execution of motion instructions. This status information can include instruction status, errors, etc.
The
Motion control operand
ATTENTION
!
Tags used for the motion control operand of motion instruction should only be used once. Re-use of the same motion control operand in other instructions can cause unintended operation of the control variables.
For more information about the MOTION_INSTRUCTION tag, refer to the appropriate motion instruction in the Logix5000 Controllers
Motion Instruction Set Reference Manual , publication 1756-RM007.
You can read motion status and configuration parameters in your logic using two methods.
Method:
Directly accessing the MOTION_GROUP and AXIS structures
Using the GSV instruction
Enable the Auto Tag Update attribute for a motion group
Example:
• Axis faults
•
Motion status

In your ladder logic program, you can modify motion configuration parameters using the SSV instruction. For example, you can change position loop gain, velocity loop gain, and current limits within your program.
For more information on the SSV instruction, see the following publications:
•
Logix5000 Controllers General Instructions Reference Manual , publication 1756-RM003
•
ControlLogix Motion Module Setup and Configuration Manual , publication 1756-UM006
Handle Motion Faults
Two types of motion faults exist.
Type
Errors
Minor/Major
Description
• Do not impact controller operation
• Should be correct to optimize execution time and ensure program accuracy
• Caused by a problem with the servo loop
• Can shutdown the controller if you do not correct the fault condition
Example
A Motion Axis Move
(MAM) instruction with a parameter out of range
The application exceeded the
PositionErrorTolerance value.
You can configure a fault as either minor or major by using the Axis
Wizard-Group window.
Understanding errors
Executing a motion instruction within an application program can generate errors. The MOTION_INSTRUCTION tag has a field that contains the error code. For more information about error codes for individual instructions, see the Logix5000 Controllers Motion
Instruction Set Reference Manual , publication 1756-RM007.
Understanding minor/major faults
Several faults can occur that are not caused by motion instructions.
For example, a loss of encoder feedback or an actual position exceeding an overtravel limit will cause faults. The motion faults are considered type 2 faults with error codes from 1 to 32. See Logix5000
Controllers Common Procedures , publication 1756-PM001.
Program Motion Control 24-21
The following figure shows several rungs of a motion control application program.
Rung 0:

To estimate how long the battery will support the memory of the controller:
A.
Determine the temperature (° C) 1 in. below the chassis.
B.
Determine the percentage of time that the controller is powered off per week.
EXAMPLE
Determine the percentage of time that the controller is powered off per week
If a controller is off:
•
8 hr/day during a 5-day work week
• all day Saturday and Sunday
Then the controller is off 52% of the time:
1. total hours per week = 7 x 24 = 168 hours
2. total off hours per week = (5 days x 8 hr/day) + Saturday + Sunday = 88 hours
3. percentage off time = 88/168 = 52%
C.
and after the BAT LED turns on.
D.
For each year of battery life, decrease the time before the BAT
LED turns on by the percentage that is shown in the table. (Do not decrease the time after the BAT LED turns on.)

To use a logical address (e.g., N7:0) to specify a value (tag) in a
ControlLogix controller, you must map files to tags:
•
You only have to map the file numbers that are used in messages; the other file numbers do not need to be mapped.
•
The mapping table is loaded into the controller and is used whenever a “logical” address accesses data.
•
You can only access controller-scoped tags (global data).

Reconfigure an I/O module
Use the Module Reconfigure message to send new configuration information to an I/O module. During the reconfiguration:
•
Input modules continue to send input data to the controller.
•
Output modules continue to controller their output devices.
A Module Reconfigure message requires the following configuration properties:
In this property:

To reconfigure an I/O module:
1.
Set the required member of the configuration tag of the module to the new value.
2.
Send a Module Reconfigure message to the module.
EXAMPLE
Reconfigure an I/O module
When reconfigure[5] is on, the MOV instruction sets the high alarm to 60 for the local module in slot 4. The Module
Reconfigure message then sends the new alarm value to the module. The ONS instruction prevents the rung from sending multiple messages to the module while the reconfigure[5] is on.
