Channels Configuration
No custom settings are required.
On TCP/IP settings, you can optimize communication using the field:
NodeConnections: Defines the maximum number of parallel requests that will be sent to each node (asynchronous communication)
Nodes Configuration
Primary Station
Stations syntax: <IP > ; <Port >
Where :
<IP> = IP address of the slave device in the network
< Port > = TCP port where the slave device is listening (default is 44818)
Example: 192.168.1.101; 44818
Points Configuration
Supported Operands
| MicroLogix Driver Supported Operands | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Operand | Read | Write | Data Type | Address size |
N – Integer | Yes | Yes | Short | 2 bytes |
F – Float | Yes | Yes | Single | 4 bytes |
B – Binary | Yes | Yes | Short | 2 bytes |
O – Output | Yes | Yes | Short | 2 bytes |

Point Address Syntax
The syntax for the ControlLogix communication points is: <File Type><File Number> : <Address>
- File Type: identifies the Operand.
- File Number: number reference for the File Type
- Address: address number in the PLC.
The valid values for File Type are:

| File Type | Operand |
| N | Integer |
| F | Float |
| B | Binary |
| O | Output |
| I | Input |
| S | Status |
| ST | String |
| DLG | DataLogging |
Examples
| MicroLogix Address Configurations Examples | |
|---|---|
Address | Description |
F8:1 | File Type = F, File Number = 8, Address = 1 |
F8:2 | File Type = F, File Number = 8, Address = 2 |
N7:1 | File Type = N, File Number = 7, Address = 1 |
B3:10 | File Type = B, File Number = 3, Address = 10 |
ST11:1 | File Type = ST, File Number = 11, Address = 1 |
DLG0:34 | ile Type = DLG, Queue Number = 0, Number of Bytes = 34 |
Consider the table below to calculate the Number of Bytes for the DataLogging
