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 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.

Chapter 3 DataSite and Logix Integration
IMPORTANT
All system devices must be configured and connected before
placing the controller in Run mode. If the controller is already in
Run mode, choose Offline from the Communications menu.
Configure the ProSoft Modbus Module
The ProSoft MV156-MNET Modbus TCP/IP communication module polls the Modbus registers of
the DataSite unit and makes the data available to the 1756-L63 controller tags. The Prosoft module
slides into slot 2 of the ControlLogix chassis and requires two configuration (.cfg) files to operate.
• WATTCP.CFG assigns an IP address to the ProSoft MVI56-MNET module.
• MNET.CFG defines the list of Modbus registers to read from or write to the DataSite unit.
You will download these configuration files from the DataSite Accelerator Toolkit CD.
The WATTCP.CFG file was modified to assign the ProSoft MVI56-MNET module an IP Address of
192.168.10.94. The MNET.CFG file was modified to poll 19 DataSite natural gas Modbus registers
from each of the 8 meter runs which will display on a PanelView Plus 1000 terminal.
If necessary, you can use Notepad to open and modify the configuration files. For more
information on these files and how they were created, refer to the MVI56-MNET User Manual in
the DSAT Common Tools>Literature and Support Info>ProSoft directory of the Accelerator Toolkit
CD. In addition to the configuration files, a (.acd) Logix program is required to manipulate the
Modbus data written to the L63 controller tags. Refer to page 31
for details on how to download
the Logix program.
IMPORTANT
TIP
The.acd Logix program was downloaded on page 31 in the Configuring the Logix Controller
section. You must download the Logix program to the ControlLogix L63 controller before you
configure the Prosoft Modbus module.
For technical support on the Prosoft MVI56-MNET module, email support@prosoft-technology.com or call

Workbench variable that can be used by the DataSite web pages.
• Digital Outputs - Controls DataSite digital outputs 2 and 3.
• Time Synchronization - Synchronizes the DataSite clock to the ControlLogix L63 controller
clock.
Follow these steps to view the DataSite Workbench program in Run mode.
1. Compile the DataSite Workbench user program by clicking Rebuild Project/Library.
