<SLC500, Micro Logix Input / Output Address Input Method>
For using Input / Output, must set up as the following Fig.
I/O operates only in the state of RUN.

2) Word Address 3) Bit Address

주소

1) Slot No.

1) Slot No.
This means the location of IO Card Slot in the Rack. CPU will be “0” and the numbers
of “1, 2, 3…” are allotted in regular order from the right side, respectively. In the above
example, the second Slot is designated.
2) Word Address
In case of using IO Card with 32 or more Dot, must use Word Address. In case of
designating Bit between 16 and 31, Word Address will be “1.”
3) Bit Address
This designates Bit to be selected. (0 ~ 15)

<SLC500 / Micro Logix /PLC5 PLC Communications Setup >
The followings show how to set up the communication parameter of Allen-Bradley PLC by
using RS Linx and RSLogix 500 English for communicating with TOP.

(1) Operate RSLinx out of AB PLC program. This is the program setting up PLC to be
connected to PC. The following Fig. shows the screen that RSLinx is operated. The left Fig.
is displayed in case that PLC to be used in PC is not set up. For setup up PLC to be
connected to PC, click the right button of mouse in the item #1 of the right Fig., and click
„Configure Driver.‟

(2) If clicking Configure Driver, Dialog Box is displayed as following Fig. Here after set up the
item #1-4 as Fig., push „Auto-Configure,‟ the item #5.

13
 Here the Station Number of #3 must be set up to “00”. Because this Number is the telephone
exchange number of PC, it must be always set up to “00.”
By pushing „Auto-Configure‟ of #5 in above Fig., a message as below Fig. is outputted. If the
message is the same to that of the right Fig, Setup is normal.

In case that normal message is displayed, the sign of “X” of PLC on Screen is disappeared as
following Fig.

Now all PLC Setup to be accessed in the PC is completed.

14
(3) For setting up PLC Parameter, execute „RSLogix 500 English.‟
In case of executing RSLogix 500 English, a screen is displayed as following Fig. In order to
create a new file in following Fig., select #1, then screen #2 is displayed. Here select the kind
of PLC.

By pushing OK Button of #4, Project Screen and Painting Screen are created as following Fig.

15
By double clicking „IO Configuration‟ of #1 on Project Screen of above Fig., the Screen #2 is
displayed; by pushing „Read IO Config‟ Button of #3, the Screen #4 is displayed; and by
pushing „Read IO Config‟ of #5, a screen is displayed as following Fig.

This indicates that 1747-L531 was selected before but the presently connected PLC is
1747-L531F.
For setting up the Parameter of PLC, double click „Channel-Configuration‟ on Project screen
of following Fig., then the screen #2 is displayed.

In the screen #1, set up as following Fig.

16
 In the above Fig., „Source ID‟ means the telephone exchange number. The user is able to
revise the basic Parameter for use.

. By pushing Download of #2, Dialog Box is displayed for several times. By checking
“Authentication” in all cases, the process of Access is completed.
