Good day all,
I'm in the process of setting up Ethernet communication between a DX200 robot and an Allen-Bradley 5069-L320ER PLC.
On the robot side, we have configured the Ethernet settings as follows:
ADAPTOR:
INPUT SIZE = 8 (bytes)
OUTPUT SIZE = 8 (bytes)
CONFIGURATION SIZE = 0 (bytes)
INPUT INSTANCE = 101
OUTPUT INSTANCE = 102
CONFIGURATION INSTANCE = 103
SCANNER:
INPUT SIZE = 8 (bytes)
OUTPUT SIZE = 8 (bytes)
CONFIGURATION SIZE = 0 (bytes)
INPUT INSTANCE = 102
OUTPUT INSTANCE = 101
CONFIGURATION INSTANCE = 103
So far, I have made it to the point where I can ping the robot from my PC and have added the robot to my IO tree in Studio 5000. The software shows it can see the robot with no errors.
According to manual 165838-1CD, I'm expecting my inputs (robot consumed) to start at external inputs address #20070. However, I've been trying to toggle each bit of all 8 bytes and have not been able to see any changes in the external IO section on the teach pendant. What am I missing or doing incorrectly?
Thank you,
Derek
