Overview
56AMXN/B AutoMax DCSNet/RE RIO Module
This document is a user guide for the 56AMXN/B module, which allows
a Rockwell Automation ControlLogix backplane to communicate with an
AutoMax DCS network or an AutoMax Remote I/O network. The
module can act as a DCS master, a DCS slave or a remote I/O master.
For DCS master or slave operation, the 56AMXN/B uses a specific
RSLogix 5000 56AMXN module profile; for Remote I/O Master
operation, it uses the 1756-MODULE generic module profile.
As a DCS master, the module:
• Scans up to 55 slave drops
• Transmits 8 words of broadcast data
• Maintains standard DCS diagnostic counters
• Supports up to 8 scheduled connections with the ControlLogix
processor for drop data. Each scheduled connection supports up to 7
drops of input data from slaves to the master and 7 drops of output
data from the master to slaves. The connections can update at RPIs
from 3 to 750 ms.
•Supports a separate connection for broadcast data, at a fixed update
rate of 3 ms.
•Allows access to unmapped input, output and diagnostic data using
the Logix MSG instruction or using PCCC messages from RSLinx
and other HMIs
As a DCS slave, the module:
•Acts as any drop from 1 to 55, with drop depth from 1 to 55, with 32
words of input data and 32 words of output data per drop
• Receives 8 words of broadcast data from the master
• Monitors the input and output data on others drops on the network
• Maintains standard DCS diagnostic counters
• Supports up to 8 scheduled connections with the ControlLogix
processor. Each connection supports up to 7 drops of slave input
data from the module to the master and 7 drops of output data from
the slave to the master. The connections can update at RPIs from 3
to 750 ms.
As a Remote I/O master, the module:
•Scans up to 7 drops
AutoMax DCSNet/RE RIO Module Page 7
•Supports up to 248 words of scheduled output data and 250 words of
scheduled input data
•Maintains diagnostic counters
As either a DCS master or slave, the module supports bridging, which
means that it can obtain its transmit data for any drop from another
56AMXN module in the same chassis.
You can use a DDE or OPC server, such as RSLinx, capable of accessing
the ControlLogix backplane, to access the DCS data directly on the
56AMXN. The module "emulates" PLC-5 integer files 100-155. Each
file corresponds to a DCS drop.
A watchdog timer is implemented in the module’s hardware. If the
firmware does not kick the watchdog within the timeout period the
watchdog times out and places the module into a safe fatal failure state.
A jabber inhibit timer is implemented in the module’s hardware. If the
network transmitter is on longer than 150% of the longest network frame
time, the jabber inhibit forces the transmitter off and places the module
into a safe fatal failure state.
The module firmware can be updated using ControlFlash.
Differences from the 56AMXN/A
For DCS Master and Slave operation, there is now an RSLogix 5000
56AMXN Module Profile. You configure the module as a 56AMXN in
RSLogix 5000, not using the 1756-MODULE generic module profile.
This results in better diagnostics for the 56AMXN in RSLogix 5000.
The 56AMXN/B can exchange much more scheduled data with the
ControlLogix processor than the 56AMXN/A could.
The DCS Master or Slave configuration data is stored with the RSLogix
5000 program. No separate DCS configuration file or configuration
program is required. It also makes the use of the configuration signature
unnecessary.
Remote I/O configuration is unchanged. You configure the 56AMXN
using the Generic Module profile in RSLogix 5000 and use the
56AmxnRioCfg program to configure the module.
The way the 56AMXN/B handles outputs in program mode and on loss
of connection is different from the way they were handled by the
56AMXN/A.
In DCS master or slave operation, if the ControlLogix was in program
mode, outputs from the 56AMXN/A continued to be updated with the
current values from the ControlLogix. If there was a loss of connection
between the ControlLogix processor and the 56AMXN, outputs held
their last state.
Publication number 56AMXN-UM002A-EN-P November 2002
Page 8 AutoMax DCSNet /RE RIO Module
In remote I/O operation, if the ControlLogix was in program mode, the
56AMXN/A set outputs to 0. If there was a loss of connection, outputs
held their last state
The 56AMXN/B firmware sets the outputs to 0 in program mode or on
loss of connection in DCS Master and Slave and Remote I/O operation.
The 56AMXN/B is backward compatible with the 56AMXN/A.
Applications written for the 56AMXN/A do not require modification to
run on the 56AMXN/B. However if you want existing applications to use
the multiple connection feature of the 56AMXN/B, those applications
must be modified.
The firmware in a 56AMXN/A can be FLASH upgraded to 56AMXN/B
operation. Refer to page 67 for details.

Page 10 AutoMax DCSNet /RE RIO Module
Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
The module is sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
ATTENTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits
or semiconductors if you touch backplane connector pins. Follow these
guidelines when you handle the module:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge static potential
• Wear an approved wrist-strap grounding device
• Do not touch the backplane connector or connector pins
• Do not touch circuit components inside the module
• If available, use a static-safe work station
• When not in use, keep the module in its static-shield packaging
Installation
Set the Switches
The module’s mode of operation depends on the settings of the rotary
switches at the top of the module. Before you install the module in the
rack, set the switches as shown in the table.

Table 1 56AMXN Switch Settings
Any other settings are invalid and result in the module going into
“Thumbwheel test” mode. In thumbwheel test mode, the display shows
the current switch settings. It doesn’t go out of thumbwheel test mode
until you turn off the power and set the switches to valid numbers.
In thumbwheel test mode, the 56AMXN initially displays “Thumb Test
Mode” on the 4-character display, displays the switch settings for 5
seconds, then resumes displaying “Thumb Test Mode”
For DCS slave operation, if the drop number and drop depth are
individually valid but the combination results in invalid drop numbers
(for example, drop number 55, drop depth 2), the module displays an
Publication number 56AMXN-UM002A-EN-P November 2002
AutoMax DCSNet/RE RIO Module Page 11
error message on the 4-character display but does not enter Thumbwheel
test mode.
Prepare the Chassis for Module Installation
Before you install the module, you must install and connect a
ControlLogix chassis and power supply. To install these products, refer
to the installation instructions you received with them.
Determine Module Slot Location
This example shows chassis slot numbering in a 4-slot chassis. Slot 0 is
the first slot and is always located to the right of the power supply. You
can use any size ControlLogix chassis and install the module in any slot.
You can use multiple modules in the same chassis.
Insert the Module in the Chassis
This module is designed to be installed or removed while chassis power
is applied.
ATTENTION: When you insert or remove the module while
backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an
explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is
removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical
resistance that can affect module operation.
Figure 1 Chassis Slots
Publication number 56AMXN-UM002A-EN-P November 2002
Page 12 AutoMax DCSNet /RE RIO Module
Cabling and Termination
Use drop cable (612574-36R) and passive tap (M/N 57C380) to connect
the module to the coaxial network cable. This cable turns down and has
a ferrite to reduce EMI. This cable must be used in CE applications. You
can also use drop cable 612403-036R which points up.
The drop cable is a 3-foot long multiconductor cable with 9-pin D-shell
connectors at each end. Connect one end to the connector on the module
and the other end to the passive tap.
The passive tap has two BNC connectors for connection to the coaxial
cables and terminating loads.
Figure 2 Inserting the 56AMXN
Publication number 56AMXN-UM002A-EN-P November 2002
Software Installation
AutoMax DCSNet/RE RIO Module Page 13
The network coaxial cable must be terminated with 75 ohm terminating
loads attached to the taps at the physical ends of the network. There
should be two and only two terminators on the network.
For DCS, the network cable can be RG-59/U or RG-11/U. For remote
I/O, the cable must be RG-59/U.
The 56AMXN is supplied with a CD that includes the configuration and
monitoring programs for the 56AMXN.
RSLinx should be installed before you install the 56AMXN software.
The 56AMXN software requires RSLinx OEM or Professional; it does
not work with RSLinx Lite.
You must delete any previous version of the 56AMXN software before
you can install a new version. Use the Windows Control Panel Add and
Remove Programs to remove the old version.
Insert the 56AMXN CD with the module software and run the program
setup.exe on the CD.
Messages about DTL32.DLL when you install or run the programs
indicate problems with the RSLinx installation. Confirm that you are
have RSLinx OEM or RSLinx Professional (not RSLinx Lite) installed.

Page 16 AutoMax DCSNet /RE RIO Module
Connections
When you add a 56AMXN to the I/O Configuration of a ControlLogix, a
broadcast data connection and from one to eight data connections are
created. The number of connections is determined by the Comm Format
you select when you add the 56AMXN module.
The broadcast connection always updates every 3 ms.
The data connections update at a rate from 3 ms to 750 ms, based on the
RPI selected on the Connection tab for the module entry. All data
connections update at the same rate.
The broadcast connection contains the broadcast data the DCS master
transmits. If the 56AMXN is the DCS master, the ControlLogix writes
to output data in the broadcast connection to send the data to remote
drops. If the 56AMXN is a DCS slave, the ControlLogix reads input
data from the broadcast connection to receive the broadcast data
transmitted by the master.
Connections and Tags
The data connections contain the drop data. Each data connection
consists of 7 blocks of data. Each block contains the input data and the
output data for one drop. You select which drops are mapped into a
block by writing to the Config (C) tag for the 56AMXN. Input and
output data for different drops can be mapped into the same block. The
same drop cannot be mapped to more than one block. By default the
blocks are mapped to consecutive drops.
The number of drop data tags created depends on the type of connection
you select when you add the 56AMXN to the I/O configuration, for
example, Master – Drops, Master, 14 Drops, Slave – 7 Drops, etc. You
cannot change the Comm Format after you create the module; to change
the Comm Format you must delete the current module and create a new
one.
Listen Only Comm Formats
You can also create a 56AMXN in the I/O Configuration with a listen
only Comm Format. A listen only Comm Format lets the ControlLogix
receive only input data. An owning connection must exist for a listen
only connection to work. The listen only Comm Format must be the
same size as the owning Comm Format or smaller.
A listen only connection has no configuration data. All configuration is
done in the owning connection.
For example, if one ControlLogix uses a Master – 28 Drops Comm
Format to a 56AMXN, another ControlLogix can use a Master – Listen
Only 28 Drops Comm Format to obtain input data from to the same
56AMXN. (It can also use a 7, 14 or 21 Drops Listen Only Comm
Format as well.) The ControlLogix with the listen only Comm Format
Publication number 56AMXN-UM002A-EN-P November 2002
Tags
AutoMax DCSNet/RE RIO Module Page 17
will see the same input data as the ControlLogix with the owning Comm
Format, but it will have no configuration or output data tags.
More than one processor can use a Listen Only Comm Format to obtain
input data from the same 56AMXN, as long as an owner exists.
Remote Connections
If you are using a 56AMXN in a remote rack, for example a rack
connected to the rack that holds the processor using ControlNet or
Ethernet, it may be necessary to increase the RPI used to connect to the
56AMXN, as the intermediate network may not have sufficient
bandwidth to support the fastest RPIs, especially for the larger Comm
Formats (Master – 56 Drops, etc). In particular, 10 megabit Ethernet has
insufficient bandwidth to support the 56AMXN/B over a remote
connection.
Associated with each 56AMXN are several tags.
Configuration Tag
File Description
C Configuration tag
I Input data for broadcast connection
O Output tag for broadcast connection
I0 – I7 Input drop data tags
O0 – O7 Output drop data tags
Table 2 56AMXN Tags
The terms input and output are used from the point of view of the
56AMXN. If the 56AMXN is a DCS master, output data is data the
module sends to remote drops; input data is data received from remote
drops. If the 56AMXN is a DCS slave, output data is data it is sending to
the DCS master; input data is data it is receiving from the DCS master or
data other drops are sending to the master.
The contents of the configuration tag determine how the drop data maps
into the ControlLogix drop data tags.
Publication number 56AMXN-UM002A-EN-P November 2002
Page 18 AutoMax DCSNet /RE RIO Module
Figure 3 Configuration Tag
The Configuration tag consists of an InputDropMap and an
OutputDropMap section. The number of entries in each section depends
on the Comm Format (Master 7 Drops, Master – 14 Drops, etc.) Each
entry contains 7 blocks.
You write values to each block to tell the 56AMXN which drop’s data
will appear in the corresponding section of the input and output drop data
tags. There is a direct correspondence between the Config tag elements
and the data tag elements. For example, Local:0:C.InputDropMap[4]
corresponds to Local:0:I4, etc.
The configuration tag defaults to having data from consecutive drops.
For example, in the screen capture, InputDropMap[0] determines the
contents of input drop data tag I0, which will contain input data from
drops 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
Listen only Comm Formats have no configuration tag since they require
no configuration.
The following tables show the possible values that can be written to the
configuration tag.

56 Unused
Any other Invalid
Duplicate entries in the InputDropMap or OutputDropMap areas are
invalid. The only exception is that there can be multiple blocks marked
as unused (56).
If the configuration tag contains invalid data, the connections to the
56AMXN do not open. The ControlLogix periodically retries the
connections so if you correct the invalid configuration data, the
connections will eventually open.
However, if you change the contents of a valid configuration tag in the
ControlLogix, you must break and remake the connections to the
56AMXN to cause the 56AMXN to use the modified configuration data.
Publication number 56AMXN-UM002A-EN-P November 2002
Page 20 AutoMax DCSNet /RE RIO Module
For example, you can inhibit the connection, then remove the inhibit to
break and remake all connections.
I and O Tags
The I and O tags are associated with the broadcast connection. The
contents vary depending on whether the 56AMXN is a DCS master or
slave.
DCS Master
The I tag contains a single DINT, Fault, which is 1 if no slaves are
connected and is 0 otherwise.
In addition, the fault is -1 (16#FFFF FFFF) if the connection is not
active. This could be because the module is not present, is inhibited, or
was configured incorrectly (wrong slot, missing or incorrect parameters,
etc.)
The O tag consists of the 8 INTs of Data, the 8 words of broadcast data
that the 56AMXN sends on DCSnet.
DCS Slave
Data Tags
The I tag consists of a single DINT, Fault, which is 1 if the master is not
active on the network and is 0 otherwise, and 8 INTs of Data, the 8
words of broadcast data the master is sending on DCSnet.
In addition, the fault is -1 (16#FFFF FFFF) if the connection is not
active. This could be because the module is not present, is inhibited, or
was configured incorrectly (wrong slot, missing or incorrect parameters,
etc.)
There is no O tag for a DCS slave.
Drop data appears in the I0-I7 and O0-O7 data tags. The number of tags
depends on the Comm Format. Each tag consists of 7 blocks. The
contents of each block are determined by the config tag.
The Input tags consist of a DINT Fault and 7 blocks of data. Each block
consists of 32 INTs of drop data.
The Output tags consist of a set of blocks, each of which consists of 32
INTs of data.
For example, if the module is a DCS master in slot 7 and the Comm
Format is Master – 56 drops and you write 30 to
Local:7:C.InputDropMap[4].Block[1] and
Local:7:C.OutputDropMap[4].Block[1], the drop data for drop 30 will
appear in data tags Local:7:I4.Block[1].Data and
Local:7:O4.Block[1].Data.
Input Fault Bits
The following table shows how the bits in the Fault DINT are used.

Table 3 Input Fault Bits
The 56AMXN diagnostic/status registers can be mapped into one of the
input tags by writing a 0 to the entry in the Configuration tag. They may
provide useful information on the operation of the network.
Registers 4-7 contain the drop status table. The module sets bits to
indicate which drops are exchanging data on the network. Register 4 bit
0 corresponds to drop 0, register 4, bit 1, corresponds to drop 1, and so
on.
The table shows how bits in the drop status table are handled by the
56AMXN in each mode.
Master Slave
Bits for slave drops are set when
the drops are online, and cleared
if they are offline.
Bit 0, corresponding to the
master, is always set.
If you disconnect the network, bit
0 remains set, all others go to 0.
If the 56AMXN is being scanned by
a master, bits for its own active
drops are set. Bits for monitored
drops are set if the drops are online,
and cleared if they are offline.
Bit 0 is set if the 56AMXN is being
scanned by a master. and is cleared
otherwise.
If you disconnect the network, all
bits go to 0.
Table 4 Drop Status Table
Register 12 contains the 56AMXN drop number. In the DCS master,
register 12 always contains 0.
Register 20 contains the 56AMXN drop depth. In the DCS master,
register 20 always contains 0.
Register 14 contains a running count of messages received.
Register 15 contains receive timeouts. This counter increments when the
module is waiting to receive but no message arrives within a timeout
period.
Publication number 56AMXN-UM002A-EN-P November 2002
Page 22 AutoMax DCSNet /RE RIO Module
Register 16 contains CRC errors. This counter increments when the
module receives a packet with a bad CRC.
Register 17 contains overrun errors. This counter increments when the
module receives a packet that is longer than 272 bytes.
Register 18 contains abort errors. This counter increments when the
module starts to receive a packet but the packet is never completed.
Register 19 contains a running count of messages transmitted.

Table 5 Diagnostic Registers
For example, if you set Local:0:C.InputDropMap[4].Block[3] to 0, then
Local:0:I4.Block[3].Data contains the diagnostic counters, in
