Hi all,
if I remember correctly, there is some way in a ControlLogix (or CompactLogix) where you can sort of map tags into SLC addressing format.
For example, say I want
N7:0 = Tank Level
N7:1 = Pump Temperature
N7:2 = Timeout Setpoint
I seem to remember there is a way where I can create tags in my CPU that actually follow the true SLC address-based format. Then I could map my data back and forth, such as
MOV(TANK_LVL, N7:0);
MOV(PUMP_TMP, N7:1);
MOV(TIMEOUT_SP, N7:2);
We will be doing a PLC conversion from a PLC5/20 to a ControlLogix, and I know it will do the sort of fake SLC addressing where, for example, B3:0.0 becomes B3[0].0. But this would require remapping our tags on SCADA, and if there is a way to keep the original tags after conversion, it would sure be helpful.
Thanks all,
W
