You must have, at least, as many elements as the ones defined in Factory I/O.

Once a new project is created, one BINARY, OUTPUT, and FLOAT elements are already defined. Hover the mouse cursor over a grayed-out point to get relevant information about the error. When connected to a PLC, non-existent tags or tags with an error are grayed out. Now, click on CONNECT to connect to the PLC.Ī successful connection is indicated by a green icon next to the selected driver, as well as next to the driver's name displayed on the status bar. Press Esc to return to the Driver Window. For Float and Integer points, Count represents the number of elements (Word).This means that if you would need 32 bits for Bool Inputs you would have to define, at least, 2 elements (Word) in the corresponding data file. For Bool Inputs/Outputs, Count represents the number of bits.Note that you can use any data file for Bool, Float and Integer but the following rules apply: B3:0/0) must be associated with an element of the PLC data file. On this panel you can also define how many I/O Points to use, as well as what part of the controller's memory (tags) they reference.Įach I/O point (e.g. If you are using a 1400 model select 1400 from the Model list instead. Make sure 1100 Ethernet is selected in the Model drop-down list and insert the controller's IP address into the Host field. Open the driver Configuration Panel by clicking on CONFIGURATION. Select Allen-Bradley MicroLogix from the driver drop-down list. In Factory I/O click on FILE > Driver Configuration to open the Driver Window. You should now be able to find the controller under the newly added driver. Start RSLinx and open the driver configuration dialog by selecting Communications > Configure Drivers from the menu. Which describes methods to assign an IP address to the controller.īy default, the controller is BOOTP enabled and will be assigned an IP address by a BOOTP server on the network.
