Installing Your ControlNet Adapter Module

For specific information required by EN 61131-2, see the appropriate sections in this publication, as well as the following Allen-Bradley publications:

Noise Immunity, publication 1770-4.1

• Guidelines for Handling Lithium Batteries, publication AG-5.4

• Automation Systems Catalog, publication B111

Determining Power Requirements

Determining the Module Location and Keying the I/O Chassis

The ControlNet adapter module requires a backplane current of 1.0A at 5V dc. Remember to add this amount to other current requirements for your I/O chassis.

The ControlNet adapter module must be installed in the leftmost slot of the I/O chassis.

The I/O chassis backplane connectors are keyed to accept only one type of module. This prevents accidental insertion of other modules in the wrong module slot.

Position the keying bands (Figure 2.1) in the backplane connectors to correspond to the key slots on the module. This prevents you from inserting the wrong module in this slot. For the ControlNet adapter module, position the keying bands:

• between 54 and 56 on the upper connector, and

• between 16 and 18 on the lower connector

ATTENTION: Observe the following precautions when inserting or removing keys:

• insert or remove keys with your fingers

• make sure that key placement is correct

Incorrect keying or the use of a tool can result in damage to the backplane connector and possible system faults.

Installing Your ControlNet Adapter Module

You can change the position of these bands if subsequent system design and rewiring makes insertion of a different type of module necessary.

Failure to observe this warning could damage module circuitry and injure people.

1. Remove power from the I/O chassis before inserting (or

removing) the module.

2. On chassis equipped with a chassis locking bar, pull the

locking-bar pins to release the locking bar and swing it up. If installing in an earlier chassis, lift the module locking latch up.

3. Place the module in the plastic tracks on the top and bottom of the

leftmost slot. These tracks guide the module into position.

ATTENTION: Do not force the module into the backplane connector. If you cannot seat the module

with firm pressure, check the alignment and keying. Forcing the module can damage the backplane connector or the module.

5. Snap the chassis locking bar (or locking latch on earlier chassis)

over the top of the module to secure it. Make sure the locking pins on the locking bar are fully engaged.

Note: The chassis locking bar will not close if all modules are not properly seated.

Connecting Your Adapter to the ControlNet Network

You connect your 1771-ACN15 or -ACNR15 adapter module to a ControlNet network via taps. These taps are available:

In this chapter, you will learn:

• addressing your I/O

• using 2-slot addressing, including:

• I/O module combinations

• using standard-density I/O (8 point) modules

• using high-density (16 point) I/O modules

• using 1-slot addressing, including:

• I/O module combinations

• using 1/2- slot addressing

• addressing summary

Programmable controllers that use the ControlNet adapter module can address their I/O in 2-slot, 1-slot or 1/2 slot I/O groups. These three addressing methods are referred to as 2-slot addressing, 1-slot addressing and 1/2-slot addressing.

You select the addressing method with switch 5 and 6 in the I/O chassis backplane switch assembly. You make this selection for each chassis independently with only one method of addressing for each chassis.

For each I/O chassis in your system, you must define how many I/O chassis slots make up an I/O group (1 word each in the input image table and output image table); this choice is the chassis’ addressing mode. Choose from among these available modes:

• 2-slot addressing

2 I/O chassis slots = 1 I/O group = 1 input image word and 1 output image word = 16 input bits and 16 output bits.

• 1-slot addressing

I/O chassis slot = 1 I/O group = 1 input image word and 1 output image word = 16 input bits and 16 output bits.

• 1/2-slot addressing

I/O groups are made up of I/O terminals (Figure 3.1). An I/O group is an addressing unit that can contain up to 16 input terminals and 16 output terminals. You select an I/O chassis to have either 2-slot, 1-slot or 1/2-slot I/O groups.

Using 2-Slot Addressing

Definition: The processor addresses two I/O module slots as one I/O group.

Concept: Each physical 2-slot I/O group is represented by a word in the input image table and a word in the output image table. Each input terminal corresponds to a bit in the input image table word and each output terminal corresponds to a bit in the output image table word.

The maximum number of bits available for one 2-slot I/O group is 32: 16 bits in the input image table and 16 bits in the output image table. The type of module you install (either 8 or 16-point I/O) determines the number of bits in the words that are used.

You select 2-slot addressing by setting switches 5 and 6 of the I/O chassis backplane switch assembly to the OFF position as shown in Chapter 2.

I/O Module Combinations

The combination of I/O modules you can use depends on the addressing method and I/O chassis you select.

16-point I/O modules provide 16 input terminals or 16 output terminals. 16-point I/O modules use a full word in the input or output image table when they are addressed as a 2-slot I/O group (Figure 3.5). Two 16-point modules (one input and one output) can be used in a 2-slot I/O group.

Because these modules use a full word in the image table, the only type of module you can use in a 2-slot I/O group with a 16-point module is one that performs the opposite (complementary) function; an input module complements an output module and vice-versa.

You can use an 8-point module with a 16-point module in a 2-slot group; it must perform the opposite function. However, eight bits in the I/O image table are unused.

1771-6.5.124 – August 1997

Addressing Modes for Your I/O

Using 1-Slot Addressing

Definition: The processor addresses one I/O module slot as one I/O group.

Concept: The physical address of each I/O group corresponds to an input and output image table word. The type of module you install (8, 16, or 32-point) determines the number of bits in these words that are used.

You select 1-slot addressing by setting switches 5 and 6 of the I/O chassis backplane switch assembly as shown in Chapter 2:

• switch 5 to the ON position

• switch 6 to the OFF position

With 1-slot addressing, because 16 input AND 16 output bits are available in the processor’s image table for each I/O slot, you can use any mix of 8-point, 16-point or nondiscrete I/O modules in the I/O chassis.

To use 32-point I/O modules with 1-slot addressing, you must install, as a pair, an input module and an output module in 2 adjacent slots of the I/O chassis beginning with I/O slot 0 (Figure 3.6). If you cannot pair the modules in this way, one of the two slots of the pair must be empty. For example, if I/O slot 0 holds a 32-point input module, I/O slot 1 can hold an 8, 16, or 32-point output module (or a module that uses the backplane for power only); otherwise, it must be empty.

Thirty-two-point I/O modules need 32 input or 32 output bits in the processor’s image table. Because only 16 input and 16 output bits are available for each I/O group, to address a 32-point I/O module, the ControlNet adapter module uses the unused input or output word associated with the adjacent I/O slot.

Addressing Modes for Your I/O

When the 1771-ACN15/ACNR15 ControlNet adapter module addresses a 1-slot I/O group containing a 32-point I/O module, the adapter module uses the unused word assigned to the adjacent I/O module slot. For example, the adapter module uses the unused input word associated with I/O slot 1 (because that slot must hold an output module and does not use its input word).

Figure 3.7 illustrates the concept of 1-slot addressing with two 32-point I/O modules.

Using 1/2- Slot Addressing

Definition: The processor addresses one-half of an I/O module slot as one I/O group.

Concept: The physical address of each I/O slot corresponds to two input and two output image table words. The type of module you install (8-, 16-, or 32-point) determines the number of bits in these words that are used.

You select 1/2-slot addressing by setting switches 5 and 6 of the I/O chassis backplane switch assembly as shown in Chapter 2:

• switch 5 to the OFF position

• switch 6 to the ON position

With 1/2-slot addressing, since 32 inputs bits AND 32 output bits are available in the processor’s image table for each I/O group, you can mix 8-point, 16-point, 32-point and nondiscrete modules in any order in the I/O chassis.

• Two I/O module slots = 1 group

• Each physical 2-slot I/O group corresponds to one word (16 bits) in the

input image table and one word (16 bits) in the output image table

• When you use 16-point I/O modules, you must install as a pair an input module and an output module in an I/O group; if you use an input module in slot 0, you must use an output module in slot 1 (or it must be empty). This configuration gives you the maximum use of I/O.

• You cannot use a nondiscrete module and a 16-point module in the same I/O group because nondiscrete modules use 8 bits in both the input and output table. Therefore, 8 bits of the 16-point module would conflict with the nondiscrete module.

• You cannot use 32-point I/O modules.

• One I/O module slot = 1 group

• Each physical slot in the chassis corresponds to one word (16 bits) in the

input image table and one word (16 bits) in the output image table

• When you use 32-point I/O modules, you must install as a pair an input module and an output module in an even/odd pair of adjacent I/O group; if you use an input module in slot 0, you must use an output module in slot 1 (or it must be empty). This configuration gives you the maximum usage of I/O.

• Use any mix of 8- and 16-point I/O modules, nondiscrete or intelligent modules in a single I/O chassis. Using 8-point modules results in fewer total I/O.

• One half of an I/O module slot = 1 group

• Each physical slot in the chassis corresponds to two words (32 bits) in the

input image table and two words (32 bits) in the output image table

• Use any mix of 8-, 16-, and 32-point I/O or nondiscrete and intelligent modules. Using 8-point and 16-point I/O modules results in fewer total I/O.

• With the processor-resident local rack set for 1/2-slot addressing, you cannot force the input bits for the upper word of any slot that is empty or that has an 8-point or 16-point I/O module. For example, if your have an 8-point or a 16-point I/O module in the first slot of your local rack (words 0 and 1 of the I/O image table, 1/2-slot addressing), you cannot force the input bits for word 1 (I:001) on or of However, in a remote chassis using a 1771-ACN15 or -ACNR15 adapter, all points can be forced, including those not physically present. In the example above, chassis word I:001 can be forced on or off.

Planning to Use Your ControlNet Adapter Module

This chapter explains how the adapter operates on ControlNet and provides information to assist in configuring your system. This includes:

• overview of adapter operation

• discrete I/O data transfer

• configuring discrete I/O data transfers

• nondiscrete I/O data transfers

• using ControlNet I/O (CIO) instructions

• mapping directly into processor memory, including examples of

nondiscrete input module and output module communication

• configuring nondiscrete I/O data transfers

Overview of Adapt Operation

The controlling processor (network address 01) on ControlNet contains an I/O map table. This map table stores the information necessary for communications to be established. Each map table entry corresponds to 1 transfer of data between the processor and an I/O rack, or between the processor and another ControlNet processor. The information in each map table is used to open a logical “connection” between 2 devices.

Connections are established between the processor and each adapter to exchange input and output data on the network. Status information is transferred along with the I/O data and is stored in a separate status file in the specified processor. Refer to the ControlNet PLC–5 Programmable Controller (Phase 1.5) User Manual, publication 1784-6.5.22, for more on status information available.

Important: The processor compares the specified module type (in

the map table) with the device with which communication is being attempted. Therefore, when changing from a 1771-ACN15 to a 1771-ACNR15, or vice versa, you must specify the new module type in the map table.

Discrete I/O Data Transfer

Planning to Use Your ControlNet Adapter Module

All 1771 discrete I/O data is mapped into the processor’s I/O image table according to the user-configurable I/O map table stored in the processor. This image table location is specified on the ControlNet configuration screen.

Configuring Discrete I/O Data Transfers

ControlNet provides significant flexibility when configuring discrete I/O data transfers. The following are important factors to consider as you plan and configure your system.

• I/O is not automatically mapped into the processor’s I/O image

file based on the network address of the adapter. If you manually configure your system, I/O from an adapter is mapped into the I/O image file based on the I/O image file address that you enter into your configuration. If you automap your system, I/O is mapped into the first available I/O image space outside of the local rack image space.

For example, if your local chassis is 12 slots and is using 1-slot addressing mode, it will use rack numbers 0 and 1. ControlNet I/O mapping would then start with rack 2. Note that even though the local chassis only used 1/2 of rack 1, ControlNet I/O cannot map into any rack number used by the local chassis.

• Always configure your remote I/O system first. Remote I/O

devices must use the I/O image space which corresponds to their rack number and size. A conflict could occur if you automap ControlNet first, and it uses I/O image space which matches a rack number on the remote I/O. Automap remote I/O first, and then automap ControlNet, since ControlNet can use any unused I/O image space.

• I/O image space for a given ControlNet connection must be

contiguous. ControlNet software cannot break up a map entry into multiple I/O image file locations.

For example, if you automap a device which requires 4 words of I/O image table, it will map into the first available 4 word block in the I/O image table, even if there are several 2 word blocks available prior to the 4 block area.

• All 1771 I/O placement rules for discrete I/O module (8, 16 and

32 point) addressing still apply.

• You can configure the adapter to scan a minimum of 0 input

words to a maximum of 32 input words in the physical rack. Data from input modules in the chassis beyond the configured rack size will not be sent to the processor.

• You can configure the adapter to write to a minimum of 0 output

words to the maximum number of words in the the physical rack (up to 32 maximum). Modules in the chassis beyond the configured rack size will not receive outputs from the processor, and will respond as if they were receiving all zeroes.

• The number of input words and output words do not have be the

same for an adapter.

• Update times (Expected Network Packet Times) are not required

to be the same for all remote racks in the system. Update times can be selected based on your application requirements.

Refer to the PLC-5 ControlNet programmable controller manual or 6200 Software manuals for more information on the ControlNet configuration screens.

Nondi Transfers

There are 2 methods for data transfer to and from 1771 nondiscrete I/O modules on ControlNet:

• ControlNet I/O (CIO) instructions

• mapping directly into the processor’s memory

Using ControlNet I/O (CIO) Instructions

By programming CIO instructions into your ladder logic, you can either read or write data to or from a module. The CIO instruction is only active when the processor is in the RUN mode. This method uses the unscheduled portion of the Network Update Interval (NUI) to complete the transfers.

Refer to the ControlNet PLC–5 Programmable Controller (Phase

1.5) User Manual, publication 1784-6.5.22, for more information on CIO instructions.

Planning to Use Your ControlNet Adapter Module

Mapping Directly Into Processor Memory

ControlNet also allows mapping 1771 nondiscrete I/O modules directly into processor memory. This eliminates the need for programming CIO or other transfer instructions in your ladder program. When you map a nondiscrete I/O module, the processor opens a connection to the adapter. Data is produced and/or consumed over the network, continuously and asynchronous to the ladder logic program scan. At the adapter, nondiscrete transfers are initiated to the module in its resident chassis asynchronous to the network activity. Once configured, these data transfers are active in all processor modes (RUN, PROG, and TEST).

Input Module

1. The processor opens a connection to the adapter for consuming

the data from the nondiscrete module. The processor requests the adapter to produce the module’s data at the Actual Network Packet Time shown in the configuration.

2. Upon receiving the request, the adapter starts initiating

continuous read requests to the module. This occurs asynchronous to any activity on the network.

3. The module processes the read requests and responds to the

adapter as fast as it can.

4. The adapter produces the most recently received copy of the

module’s data on the network at the Actual Network Packet Time.

Note: If the nondiscrete input module can only respond to read requests every 50ms, and you set your update time to 10ms, the adapter will be sending 5 copies of each data block.

2. The processor produces the most recent copy of the designated

data table value you specified in your configuration onto the network at the Actual Network Packet Time.

3. The adapter consumes the packet from the processor, and initiates

a nondiscrete write transfer to the output module. Only 1 nondiscrete write transfer is active to any module at a time.

Nondiscrete I/O data is stored in integer files that you specify in your ControlNet configuration screen. Each map entry for a nondiscrete I/O data transfer defines an offset into the Data Input File (DIF) or Data Output File (DOF) where data is stored.

Using separate data table files for nondiscrete I/O data transfer allows the processor to present nondiscrete I/O data in the same manner as discrete I/O data – continuously transmitted and asynchronous to the ladder logic program scan.

Planning to Use Your ControlNet Adapter Module

Configuring Nondiscrete I/O Data Transfers

The following are important factors to consider when planning and configuring nondiscrete I/O modules:

• You can communicate with nondiscrete I/O modules anywhere in

the rack, including slots that are not mapped into the discrete I/O image files. Note that nondiscrete I/O modules can be placed so no I/O image space is used.

For example, in an 8-slot chassis with 1-slot addressing, you can place discrete modules in the first 4 slots and only map 4 words of I/O image table. Y

ou could then place nondiscrete modules in the last 4 slots

without using more I/O image space.

• Slots in the adapter are physically referenced starting at 0 and

continuing by 1 up to a maximum of 15 (depending on the size of your chassis) regardless of the addressing mode (2, 1, or 1/2) used within the chassis.

• The explicit ControlNet I/O transfer instruction (CIO) can also be

included in your ladder logic program to communicate with nondiscrete I/O modules.

• One or more connections are required per module, depending on

the type of module. A separate connection is used for a read or write.

• Modules accommodated by the processor’s nondiscrete I/O data

transfer mechanism are typically those that require a one-time configuration and are continuously read from or written to.

Configuring Your ControlNet System
