Allen-Bradley ControlLogix driver
This driver allows the communication between Simumatik and Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLCs.
Parameters
Aside from the common parameters described in the communication_driver docs, this driver includes:
- ip: IP address of the controller that want to connect to. Default = '192.168.0.1'
Note
The IP address for this driver can be configured in the following ways:
- IP Address Only (
10.20.30.100
) - Use for a ControlLogix PLC is in slot 0 or if connecting to a CompactLogix or Micro800 PLC. - IP Address/Slot (
10.20.30.100/1
) - (ControlLogix) if PLC is not in slot 0 - CIP Routing Path (
1.2.3.4/backplane/2/enet/6.7.8.9/backplane/0
) - Use for more complex routing.
Setup data
The setup data will give values to the parameters required and will specify the I/O variables info.
