The DataSite to FactoryTalk View ME Master configuration is good for small applications that don’t require
a ControlLogix controller to poll multiple DataSite units. The PanelView Plus 600 terminal communicates
with the DataSite unit using Modbus serial communication.

About This Publication
This quick start provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up
and configure three functional DataSite configurations.
• DataSite to a ControlLogix master (Chapter 1
• DataSite to a FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (ME) master
(Appendix
• DataSite to a FactoryTalk View Site Edition (SE) master with data
logging capabilities (Appendix
The examples are designed to get devices installed and
communicating with each other in the simplest way possible. The
programming is not complex and offers easy solutions to verify that
devices are communicating properly
To assist in the design and installation of your DataSite configuration,
application files and other information is provided on the DataSite
Accelerator Toolkit CD, publication IASIMP-SP011. This CD provides
CAD drawings for panel layout and wiring, base Logix control
programs, FactoryTalk View HMI application files, and more. For a
copy of the CD, contact your local Rockwell Automation distributor or
sales representative. With these tools and the built-in best-practices
design, you can focus on the design of your system and not on design
overhead tasks.

Plan Your DataSite Panel Layout and Wiring
The DataSite Accelerator Toolkit CD includes AutoCAD Electrical project files that include panel
layout and wiring diagrams that you can easily modify for your specific application. Individual
DWG, DXF, and PDF files are available for use in standard AutoCAD and non-AutoCAD drawing
and image software packages. The drawings are designed to optimize panel space and minimize
electrical noise.
Follow these steps to load CAD files from the DataSite Accelerator Toolkit CD.
1. On the toolkit CD, select DataSite Development Tools.
2. Choose DataSite to ControlLogix Master>AutoCAD Electrical CAD.
3. Open the DWG or DXF folder.
TIP
The PDF file contains the same information as the individual DXF and DWG files. Use
Adobe Acrobat Reader to open the PDF file.
4. Use your CAD program to open the DWG or DXF files.
5. Identify additional layout needs specific to your application.

DataSite and Logix Integration
Introduction
In this chapter, you configure the DataSite unit, download the ControlLogix user program,
configure the ProSoft (MVI56-MNET) Modbus TCP/IP communication module, and connect all
system devices.
Before You Begin
• Complete your system hardware selection (Chapter 1).
• Complete your system layout and wiring (Chapter 2).
• Load all DataSite software on your computer as listed in the Preface on page 10. In this
chapter, you will use the DS FloConfig and RSLogix 5000 software.
• Assign IP addresses to all devices on network. The table lists IP addresses used in this
quick start.
Device IP Address Device IP Address
1756-ENBT Ethernet module 192.168.10.90 ProSoft MV156-MNET module 192.168.10.94
Master radio 192.168.10.91 Personal computer 192.168.10.95
Remote radio 192.168.10.92 PanelView Plus 1000 terminal 192.168.10.96
DataSite unit 192.168.10.93
This chapter assigns IP addresses to the 1756-ENBT Ethernet module, the DataSite unit, and
the Prosoft MV156-MNET module. For details on how to assign an IP address to the
PanelView Plus terminal, refer to the PanelView Plus Terminals User Manual, publication
2711P-UM001
. For the other devices, refer to the manufacturer’s user manual.

DataSite and Logix Integration Chapter 3
Configure the DataSite Unit
The communication parameters for the DataSite unit are configured using DS FloConfig software.
The DataSite unit can communicate using either its serial or Ethernet port. This quick start uses
the serial port to assign the DataSite unit an IP address of 192.168.10.93 and then changes to
Ethernet communication.
TIP
Make sure your computer or laptop is assigned an IP address where the first three octets are the same as
the DataSite unit, 192.168.10.XX. In this quick start, the computer uses a static IP address of
192.168.10.95 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
Follow these steps to assign an IP address, 192.168.10.93, and configure Ethernet communication
for the DataSite unit.
1. Connect a 1747-CP3
192.168.10.93
192.168.10.95
(null-modem) serial cable
between your computer's
serial port and the COM2
port on the DataSite unit.
