SLC 5/05 Ethernet Processor Features

Keyswitch Operation

The processors include a 3-position keyswitch on the front panel that lets you choose from three modes of operation: Run, Program, and Remote. You can remove the key in any of the three positions.

ATTENTION: Depending on the size of your user program, the processor can take up to 2.5 seconds to

change modes when you change the position of the keyswitch from RUN to PROG or to REM. Do not use the keyswitch in place of a hardwired master control relay or an emergency-stop switch.

RUN Position

This position places the processor in the Run mode. The processor scans/executes the ladder program, monitors input devices, energizes output devices, and acts on enabled I/O forces. You can only change the processor mode by changing the key position. You cannot perform online program editing.

To change the mode to Run, turn the key from PROG or REM to RUN. When the key is in the RUN position, you cannot use a

programmer/operator interface device to change modes.

PROG Position

This position places the processor in the Program mode. The processor does not scan/execute the ladder program, and the controller outputs are de-energized. You can perform online program editing. You can only change the mode by changing the key position.

To change the processor mode to Program, turn the key from REM or RUN to PROG. When the key is in the PROG position, you

cannot use a programmer/operator interface device to change modes.

REM Position

This position places the processor in the Remote mode: either the REMote Run, REMote Program, or REMote Test mode. You can change the processor mode by changing the keyswitch position or by changing the mode from a programmer/operator interface device. You can perform online program editing in this position.

To change the mode to REM, turn the key from RUN or PROG to REM. When the key is in the REM position, you can use a

programmer/operator interface device to change modes.

When to use straight-through and cross-over pin-out:

• SLC 5/05 Ethernet port to 10Base-T Ethernet hub cables utilize a

straight-through pin-out (1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 6-6).

• Direct point-to-point 10Base-T cables, with cross-over pin-out

(1-3, 2-6, 3-1, 6-2), connect the SLC 5/05 Ethernet port directly to another SLC 5/05 Ethernet port (or a computer 10Base-T port).

Load Your Programming Software

Cables

Shielded and non-shielded twisted-pair 10Base-T cables with RJ45 connectors are supported. The maximum cable length between an SLC 5/05 Ethernet port and a 10Base-T port on an Ethernet hub (without repeaters or fiber) is 100 meters (328 feet). However, in an industrial application, the cable length should be kept to a minimum.

Install RSLogix500 programming software and RSLinx communication software. Refer to your software package’s documentation for installation instructions. Be sure to use the version of the software listed below. Earlier versions of the software do not support the SLC 5/05 processor.

• RSLogix500 – Rev. 2.10.12 or later (OS500)

– Rev. 2.51.0 or later (OS501)

• RSLinx – Rev. 1.70.62 or later

Configuring the Ethernet Channel for Local Communication

This chapter:

• describes the configuration methods and configuration parameters

• explains how to configure the Ethernet channel using RSLogix

Programming Software

• explains how to configure the Ethernet channel via BOOTP

Configuration Methods

There are two ways to configure the SLC 5/05 Ethernet channel 1. The configuration can be done via a BOOTP request at processor powerup, or by manually setting the configuration parameters using RSLogix 500 Programming Software. The configuration parameters are shown below and the configuration procedures follow.

Parameter Description Default Status

MSG Connection Timeout

MSG Reply Timeout

Inactivity Timeout

IP Address

Subnet Mask

Broadcast Address

Hardware Address

The file number, which states the channel status diagnostic counters for this channel. A Diagnostic File Number value of zero means that no diagnostics file was configured for this channel. The Diagnostic File Number must be an integer within the limits of 7, 9–255.

The amount of time (in ms) allowed for a MSG instruction to establish a connection with the destination node. The MSG Connection Timeout has 250 ms resolution and a range from 250 to 65,500.

The amount of time (in ms) that the SLC 5/05 waits for a reply to a command it initiated via a MSG instruction. The MSG Reply Timeout has 250 ms resolution and a range from 250 to 65,500.

The amount of time (in minutes) that a MSG connection may remain inactive before it is terminated. The Inactivity Timeout has a 1 minute resolution and a range from 1 to 65,500 minutes.

The SLC 5/05 internet address (in network byte order). The internet address must be specified to connect to the TCP/IP network.

The SLC 5/05 subnet mask (in network byte order). The Subnet Mask is used to interpret IP addresses when the internet is divided into subnets. A Subnet Mask of all zeros indicates that no subnet mask has been configured.

NOT

SUPPORTED AT THIS TIME. The SLC 5/05 broadcast address (in network byte order). The

Broadcast Address is used in sending multicast messages. A Broadcast Address of all zeros indicates that no broadcast address was configured. In this case, the network code chooses a valid broadcast address when needed for that current subnet.

The address of a gateway (in network byte order) that provides connection to another IP network. A Gateway Address of all zeros indicates that no gateway was configured.

The BOOTP enable switch. When BOOTP is enabled, the SLC 5/05 attempts to learn its network related parameters at powerup via a BOOTP request. There must be a BOOTP server on the network capable of responding to this BOOTP request. When BOOTP is disabled, the SLC 5/05 uses the locally configured network related parameters (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Broadcast Address, etc.).

Configuring the Ethernet Channel for Local Communication

Configuration Using RSLogix500 Programming Software

The following step-by-step procedure shows how to set up the SLC 5/05 and establish local communication on an Ethernet network. You need to assign a unique IP address for your processor.

This procedure also shows how to create a ladder program for an SLC 5/05 processor and download it via the RS232 COM port on your computer to channel 0 (RS232) on the SLC 5/05. You can use the 1747-CP3 Programmer Cable to make the physical connection.

a program to the SLC 5/05 (via RS232) before you can establish Ethernet communications.

Finally, this procedure assumes that you have previous experience with SLC 500 processors and RSLogix500 programming software. If you do not, the following publications will help with the SLC 500 hardware and the instruction set. For the software (RSLogix500 and RSLinx), use the online HELP screens to guide you through developing a program and configuring channel 0 communication parameters.

• SLC 500 and MicroLogix 1000 Instruction Set Reference Manual,

publication 1747-6.15.

• SLC 500 Modular Hardware Style Installation and Operation

Manual, publication 1747-6.2.

Define SLC 5/05 Processor and I/O Modules

1. Start RSLinx software.

2. When the RSLinx window appears, click on the

“Communications” pull-down menu and select “Configure Drivers”.

3. In this step, you will configure RS232 driver.

In the “Configure Drivers” window, select “RS232 DF1 Devices” and click on the “Add New” box. The “Configure Allen-Bradley DF1 Communications Device” window appears.

Select the communications port you wish to use. This is the PC serial port COM1 through COM9.

Under Device Type, select “SLC–CH0” and “CRC error checking”.

If you have an RS232 cable connected between the selected COM port on your PC and channel 0 on your SLC 5/05, you can click on “Auto-configure” to define your interface parameters.

If you do not use “Auto-Configure”, you must enter the channel 0 default parameters as follows:

• Device Type: SLC-CH0

• Baud Rate: 19200

• Parity: None

• Error Checking: CRC

• Stop Bits: 1

• Protocol: Full Duplex

When finished, click “OK”. “AB_DF1-1 DH485 Sta:0 COMn: RUNNING” is added to the list of configured drivers (where n = the number of the COM port you selected).

Minimize the RSLinx window.

4. Start RSLogix500 programming software and create a new file.

5. In the “Select Processor Type” window, choose the SLC 5/05

processor type:

• 1747-L551, 16K memory

• 1747-L552, 32K memory

• 1747-L553, 64K memory

Assign a name to the processor and click “OK”. A ladder programming screen appears showing only an END rung.

6. Using the list on the left side of the screen, double-click on

“Controller Properties” under the “Controller” category (folder).

7. In the “Controller Properties” window, click on the “Controller

Communications” tab. In this window, select “AB_DF–1” as the driver. Click “OK”.

8. Using the list on the left side of the screen, double-click on “I/O

Configuration” under the “Controller” category.

9. In the “I/O Configuration” window, you can identify your SLC

hardware (chassis and I/O modules) either manually or automatically.

Note: For automatic configuration, you need to have

your SLC hardware installed and the programming cable (1747-CP3 or equivalent) connected between the SLC 5/05 channel 0 and the PC COM port.

Manually –

In the “I/O Configuration” window, select the chassis and I/O modules that you have. Close this screen (click the close button [x] in the upper right corner of the window).
