ControlLogix PLCs - Software Requirements

You will need to have access to Rockwell’s RSLogix 5000 Enterprise Series controller configuration software (obtainable from your ControlLogix system supplier) and its associated tools.

This software provides access to controller configuration, project code, tag definitions and data values. Use it to:

• Configure each Ethernet Module IP address

• Create tags for each controller

• Download the projects to the controllers.

Note:
• To configure Plant SCADA to communicate with ControlLogix system PLCs, you can use RSLogix 5000 to export PLC tag definitions to comma separated value (CSV) files, and use Windows Clipboard to copy them directly into Plant SCADA Studio.
• Plant SCADA tags can only support arrays of 256 bytes. If your ControlLogix system has arrays larger than this, you might have to subdivide them into segments using the offset and array size in the tag address. See Mapping to More Than an Individual Element of an Array for more information.
