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:

Parameter	Default Value	Description
ip	192.168.0.1	IP address of the controller you want to connect to.

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.

{
  "parameters": {
    "ip": "192.168.1.23"
  },
  "variables": {
    "inputs": {
      "datatype": "byte",
      "size": 1,
      "operation": "write"
    },
    "outputs": {
      "datatype": "byte",
      "size": 1,
      "operation": "read"
    }
