Panel view 600 to control logic L63

Trying to connect an old panel view 600 to a control logic processor over device net

I have devicenet connected but can't seem to address the tags properly

I know I need to use the plc/slc but can't find an example

Any help would be great

You will need to use RSNetworx to configure your DeviceNet setup and create a scanlist to download to the PanelView terminal.

Here is a link to the manual.

I have the scanlist. Done and the dnb setup but can't seem to create tags that the panelview will except

Please refer to the manual I linked previously.

You need to configure FactoryTalk Linx communication setup and create your Input & Output Aliases in the I/O Configuration. These Alias tags will be what your PV will address.
In the Tag Browser>Online> you will see the Alias tags from InputTable / OutputTable that was created.

Welcome to the PLCTalk forum community !

What is the exact part number of the PanelView terminal ? Is it a "PanelView Standard" with the black bezel, or a "PanelView Plus" with a gray bezel ?

Are you using the ordinary DeviceNet interface, or are you using a 1761-NET-DNI serial bridge ?

The PV+ is very difficult to use on DeviceNet, but the older PV Standard aren't too bad.

It is an old PV 600 attached is a picture

Also here is the Control logic file

DNB is in slot 4

Ken,

Sorry the RSlogix file did not attach

OK, that verifies that the terminal is a PanelView Standard. I believe that the "P1.CTK" on the information screen means that it's equipped with a DeviceNet daughtercard, but a photo or the exact part number would be conclusive.

The *.ACD file is for a 1756-L63 with Version 13 firmware, so you're probably running RSLogix 5000 in Windows XP or Windows 7, and have RSNetworx software for that generation.

Your test program also doesn't appear to have used the DeviceNet Tag Mapping Tool, which created logic that mapped out data from each DeviceNet scanlist entry to ControlLogix tags, so you're starting from scratch there.

You will need the 1756-DNB Scanlist to know where in the Local:4:I.Data[x] and Local:4:O.Data[x] array tags the PanelView data goes.

In the PanelBuilder32 software itself, the Input and Output images are really pretty straightforward syntax.

They are literally I:<word/<bit> and O:<word>/<bit> for each Word of the I/O Assembly. The I/O assembly can be up to 64 16-bit Words in each direction.

To my knowledge the PanelView's syntax was always 16-bit on the DeviceNet side, since it was built to work with the 16-bit SLC-500 and PLC-5 DeviceNet scanners. When you use it with a 32-bit DeviceNet scanner with a ControlLogix, you just have to account for two Words in every I/O image DWord.

RA Knowledgebase Article 32024 discusses that a little bit, but it really is just as simple as "copy 32-bit DINT data into a 16-bit INT tag array if it helps you understand and use it better".
