AB-PLC SLC 500 TCP/IP Communication Driver is the driver to communicate with  AB SLC 500 PLC of Rockwell Automation in U.S.A.

1. Read settings

 

<Figure 1> is read setting example of AB-PLC SLC 500 TCP/IP communication driver.

<Figure 1> Read setting example of AB-PLC SLC 500 TCP/IP communication driver

Device part of  <Figure 1> input Device Type(TCP/IP), IP address of PLC(192.168.1.102), service port number(2222 : fixed) respectively.

 

AB-PLC SLC 500 TCP/IP communication driver¡¯s read schedule 

Read schedule setting parameters are as follows:

1) STATION – Don't care(fixed to 0).

2)  memory type(and file number) – memory type = B3, N7, F8, N9, F13 ...

3) Read Start Address – read start address of memory.

4) Save Start Address for Communication Server – save start address.

5) Read Size – word unit size.

2. Writing settings

You can write AB-PLC SLC 500 PLC by writing settings.

 

Bit Write

Bit write setting parameters are as follows:

1) PORT : Port no. (0 ~ 255)

2) STATION :  Don't care.

3) ADDRESS : Upper 3 digit = word unit writing address (10 digit), Lower 1 digit = 0 ~ F(16 digit) writing bit pos.. (ex : 001A = 1 word A bit)

4) EXTRA 1 :  Memory type = B3, N7...

5) EXTRA 2 :  R, T, C memory =  0 – status bit, 1 – setting value, 2 – count value,

Other memory  = Don;t care.

 

Write example 1)

PORT:0   STATION:0   ADDRESS:002F  EXTRA1:B3   EXTRA2 :

The setting parameter shown above is an example of bit write for 2 word, F bit of memory B3 for AB-PLC SLC 500 PLC connected with 0 port.

 

Write example 2)

PORT:0   STATION:0   ADDRESS:0007  EXTRA1:N7  EXTRA2 :

The setting parameter shown above is an example of bit write for 0 word, 7 bit of memory N7 for AB-PLC SLC 500 PLC connected with 0 port.

 

Write example 3)

PORT:0   STATION:0   ADDRESS:0010  EXTRA1:T4   EXTRA2 : 1

The setting parameter shown above is an example of setting value control for 1 word, 0 bit of memory T4 for AB-PLC SLC 500 PLC connected with 0 port.

 

Write example 4)

PORT:0   STATION:0   ADDRESS:0010  EXTRA1:T4   EXTRA2 : 0

The setting parameter shown above is an example of writing status bit for 1 word, 0 bit of memory T4 for AB-PLC SLC 500 PLC connected with 0 port.

 

 

Note) AB-PLC SLC 500 TCP/IP communication driver don't support 'Bit Write' for 'F' memory.

 

 

Word Write

Word write setting parameters are as follows:

1) PORT : Port no. (0 ~ 255)

2) STATION : Don't care.

3) ADDRESS : 10 digit word unit writing address. (ex : 0010 = 10 word address)

4) EXTRA 1 : memory type = N7, N10...

5) EXTRA 2 : R, T, C memory =  0 – status bit, 1 – setting value, 2 – count value,

Other memory  = Don;t care.

 

 

Write example 1)

PORT:0  STATION:0  ADDRESS:0015  EXTRA1:N10  EXTRA2 :

The setting parameter shown above is an example of word write for 15 word of memory N10 for AB-PLC SLC 500 PLC connected with 0 port.

 

Write example 2)

PORT:0   STATION:0   ADDRESS:0006  EXTRA1:N7  EXTRA2 :

The setting parameter shown above is an example of word write for 6 word of memory N7 for AB-PLC SLC 500 PLC connected with 0 port.

 

Write example 3)

PORT:0   STATION:0   ADDRESS:0011  EXTRA1:T4   EXTRA2 : 1

The setting parameter shown above is an example of word write(setting value) for 11 word of memory T4 for AB-PLC SLC 500 PLC connected with 0 port.

 

Write example 4)

PORT:0   STATION:0   ADDRESS:0002  EXTRA1:C5   EXTRA2 : 2

The setting parameter shown above is an example of word write(count value) for 2 word of memory C5 for AB-PLC SLC 500 PLC connected with 0 port.
