6.2 Rockwell (Allen-Bradley)

With Rockwell PLC-5 DataHighway+, SLC500 DH485, and Remote
I/O Protocol units, when the same project file is used on multiple
GP/GLC units, the system may malfunction. When using multiple
GP/GLC units, create and maintain only one unique project file
for each GP/GLC unit.

PLC-5 Series (Using Remote I/O)

If you select the PLC type setting as [AB Remote I/O] for your GP-PRO/PBIII
project, you will also need to configure your GP unit's I/O addresses. After the
project is setup, the following configuration window can be found by clicking on the
Mode Settings area's "Rack Setup" button.

26 GP-PRO/PBIII for Windows Device/PLC Connection Manual

 Rockwell (Allen-Bradley)

‹ PLC Model
Currently, only the AB PLC 5 Family is supported.
‹ Baud Rate
Select the baud rate used for the Remore I/O network. This selection must match
that of the intended network.
!
Important Early versions of the QPI-ABR-001 RIO
modules are not capable of operating at
230,400bps baud.

‹ Retain PLC Memory Values

To retain the memory values of all data input and all Block Transfer Reads (BTR), click
on the checkbox titled "Retain PLC Memory Values. If this box is not checked, all data
values will be set to 0 when the power is cycled (turned off).
‹ Rack
A rack corresponds to the I/O rack number of the I/O chassis in which you have
placed the target I/O module. For rack emulation, the target I/O module is
the emulated rack. The valid ranges for rack numbers are shown below.
You cannot do a block transfer to a rack above address 17.
Maximum No. of
Processor Valid Range (octal)
Racks
PLC-5/10, -5/12, -5/15 4 00 - 03
PLC -5/25, -5/30 8 00 - 07
PLC-5/40, -5/40L 16 00 - 17
PLC-5/60, -5/60L 24 00 - 27

1. Observe Mode
When you first start a project using Remote I/O, all racks are in OBSERVE mode,
which allows the target display to listen to all discrete I/O transfers on the Remote I/
O link.
An Allen Bradley rack corresponds to 128 input bits and 128 output bits of defined
PLC data table memory. In the PLC memory, a "data table" reserves 128 bits for
both input and output. This data table then allows the PLC to communicate with all
other devices. No matter what I/O scheme (configuration) is being used, 1, 1/2, 1/
4 slot addressing, the limit per rack is 128 bits.
When you select two (2) slot addressing, each pair of slots is assigned to the corre-
sponding pair of words in the input and output image tables. You assign one I/O
rack number to eight (8) I/O groups. The following drawing shows a rack of I/O
that has been set up to use 2-slot addressing.

GP-PRO/PBIII for Windows Device/PLC Connection Manual 27

Rockwell (Allen-Bradley)

2. Emulate Mode
You can also have your GP emulate a rack for only discrete I/O, or configure it to
work with "Block Transfer" read and write operations.

Discrete I/O
From the configuration shown above (this window can be called up using the Project
Setup area Mode tab's "Rack Setup" selction), select the areas of the master PLC's
I/O table that the GP should emulate.

! These areas should not be used by any other device.

Caution

In the above example, this GP will emulate Rack 00, Groups 4 and 5. This means that the
GP can use addresses O:004/00 to O:004/17 and I:004/00 to I:004/17.

 Rockwell (Allen-Bradley)

Block Transfer
"Block Transfer" commands allow you to send and receive data to and from a PLC.
Use the configuration window shown below (called up by clicking on the Project
Setup area Mode tab's [Option] ) to select the areas of the master PLC's I/O table
that should be used by the GP for Block transfer (Read or Write) and how many
words (0 to 64) should be transferred.

! These areas should not be used by any other device.

Important
The block transfer area selected here must be accompanied by an equivalent Block
Transfer command in the PLC ladder program.

The difference between the BTR and BTW data types is very important. A BTR is
s "Block Transfer Read" from the GP to the PLC, which means the GP can write to
this area. A BTW is a "Block Transfer Write" from the PLC to the GP, which means
the GP can read data from this area.
In the above example, the GP is using Rack 00, Group 6, Slot 0 for Block Transfer.
Slot 0 is set with a BTR and BTW of 64. This means that the GP can use addresses
BTR:0060:00 to BTR:0060:63, and BTW:0060:00 to BTW:0060:63.

BTR:0060:00/00

*1 Specify only unique node addresses so that they do not overlap node ad-
dresses of other equipment connected to the DH485 network.
*2 This is the largest node address of the active processor. Specify the smallest
practical value for the maximum node address. This will shorten the time
required for initializing the network. All the node addresses are continuously
specified starting with 0. When the value specified for the maximum node
address is the same as that connected to the DH485 network, the transmis-
sion speed of the DH485 network can be improved.
