Points Configuration
Point Address Syntax
The syntax for the ControlLogix communication points is: <File Type><Element Number> : <Address>
- File Type: identifies the Operand.
- File Number: number reference for the File Type
- Element Number: number address for that file in the PLC.
The valid values for File Type are:
| DF1Ethernet Driver File Types | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
File | Read | Write | Bit Read | Bit Write | Data Type | Address size |
N Integer | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Word | 2 bytes |
B Binary | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Word | 2 bytes |
F FloatPoint | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Single | 4 bytes |

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 2222)
Example: 192.168.1.101; 2222
