Description
The ABR I/O driver communicates through Rockwell Software’s RSLinx running on Windows NT. The ABR supports a variety of communications protocols and interface cards:
Ethernet via 3COM Ethernet cards
DH+ via 1784-KT and 1784-KTX/KTXD cards
ControlNet via 1784-KTC cards (ABR v6.30 or greater)
DH485 via 1784-KTX/KTXD cards (ABR v6.30 or greater)
All of these protocols and interface cards can be run on the same system using one instance of the ABR driver. The ABR can support up to 8 concurrent connections to RSLinx. Refer to your Allen Bradley documentation for the configuration of RSLinx.
Resolution
RSLinx - General Setup
Ethernet Cards:
Use the following steps to configure RSLinx for use with Allen Bradley PLCs with Ethernet cards:
1. After TCP/IP is installed, use the "ping" utility to attempt to reach any TCP/IP enabled node on the network.
2. When a ping can be successfully executed, open the RSLinx application.
3. From the menu bar select the Communications pull-down menu, and then Configure Drivers.
4. From the "Available Drivers" window, double click on "Ethernet to PLC-5 or 5820-EI".
5. RSLinx displays a dialog box titled "Configure Ethernet-to-AB Communications". Enter the correct IP address and Host Name information. You will use these IP addresses in the IP Address fields when you configure the I/O driver with the ABR Configurator.
6. Click OK.
7. Select Communications and then Configure Client Applications for the pull-down menu. RSLinx displays the "Client Applications Configuration" dialog box.
8. Select the "INTERCHANGE Port Mapping" tab.
9. Click the arrow for the "1KT:0" list box and select the "AB_ETH-1" option. This maps the Ethernet card to the "1KT:0" driver which is required for an Ethernet connection with the ABR.
KT Cards:
Use the following steps to configure RSLinx for use with Allen Bradley PLCs with KT cards:
1. Open the RSLinx application.
2. Select Configure Drivers from the Communications pull-down menu. The Configure Drivers dialog box appears.
3. Double click 1784-KT/KTX(D)/PCMK in the Available Drivers window. The Configure Allen-Bradley KT(X)/PCMK Device dialog box appears.
4. Enter the parameters for your KT card and click OK. Your KT card adds to the Configured Drivers list in the Configure Drivers dialog box.
5. Click OK.
6. Select Configure Client Applications from the Communications menu. The "Client Application Configuration" dialog box appears.
7. Select the "Interchange Port Mapping" tab and specify each KT device driver to use for each card number. You use the card numbers when you configure channels with the ABR I/O Configurator. The Configurator’s Communication Settings dialog box contains fields for KT Primary and Backup Card settings.
KTC Cards:
Use the following steps to configure RSLinx for use with Allen Bradley PLCs with KT cards:
1. Open the RSLinx application.
2. Select Configure Drivers from the Communications pull-down menu. The "Configure Drivers" dialog box appears.
3. Double click "1784-KTC(X)" in the "Available Drivers" window. The "Configure Allen-Bradley KTC(X) Device" dialog box appears.
4. Enter the parameters for your KTC card and click OK. Your KTC card adds to the "Configured Drivers" list in the Configure Drivers dialog box.
5. Click OK.
6. Select Configure Client Applications from the Communications menu. The "Client Applications Configuration" dialog box appears.
7. Select the "Interchange Port Mapping" tab and specify each KTC device driver to use for each card number. You use the card numbers when you configure channels with the ABR I/O Configurator. The Configurator’s Communication Settings dialog box contains fields for KTC Primary Card settings.
