how to use a msg to get data from ML1200 to a controllogix

I want to use a msg to get data from ML1200 to a controllogix
controllogix controller Ethernet IP address is 192.78.3.165,
1761-ENI module's IP address is 192.178.3.161
I installed the RSLOGIX500, ML1200 programs available online using the switch
RSLOGIX5000 V16 has been installed

,How do I use SLOGIX5000 V16 read RSLOGIX500, ML1200 program part of the data with the MSG instruction

OK - I trust that you want to read data from a MicroLogix 1200 into a ControlLogix?

I trust that you have a register available to read in the MicroLogix i.e. N100 (INT)

In the ControlLogix, add a MSG instruction and set the message type to "SLC Type Read". MicroLogix uses Logix500 as you know, and therefore works under the SLC banner in this case.

In the Source, enter the MicroLogix data file (N100)

Enter how many elements (words) you wish to read.

In the destination, put the path of the local array (I.e. ML1200_NO1_READ) - (INT - make sure this array has same or more elements than you are reading).

Now the tricky part... message paths...

I am currently out of the country and can't access my notes on MSG paths, I trust somebody will be along shortly.

Possible subnet problem?

I note that the IP address presented are not likely in the same subnet. Is that just a typo?

Yes, it would depend on your netmask......

Path: ClogixEnbtName,2,192.178.3.161


ClogixEnbtName = Name given to the ethernet module in the control logix rack.

I've been tested in accordance with the recommendations of wideito a, Path: ENI, 2,192.178.3.161,1,0

In the Source, enter O:0/4,In the ControlLogix, add a MSG instruction and set the message type to "SLC Type Read".
Click the Apply button, pop-up dialog:
failed to set path value to ENI,2,192.178.3.161,1,0. module cound not be found.
I would like to ask where I set up wrong, or how can I set up

Your path is not correct.

You have: ENI,2,192.178.3.161,1,0

ENI is not correct. It needs to be whatever you named the ethernet module in the control logix rack. You can pick it using the Browse button.

,2,192.178.3.161 is correct, remove the ,1,0 at the end.



Again, Path = ClogixEnbtName,2,192.178.3.161

ClogixEnbtName = Name given to the ethernet module in the control logix rack.

ypf 108: send us a copy of your rslogix 5000 program , I will help you.

thank you very much
