Hi,
Looking for a bit of a sanity check on my procedure here and also bit of advice for the Mapping in CLX.
I'm looking to upgrade from PLC5 to CLX. It is not possible to stop the process for a lengthy amount of time so an element of hot-swapping with occasional shutdowns will take place. My analogs will be installed on a new rack but I want to read the digital inputs through a gateway from PLC5 to CLX. Or rather I want to write all the inputs immediately one changes in the PLC5.
My PLC5 inputs are in different areas of the I1 data table so I have moved them all to N10:120 to N10:135 (N10:120 Len16). They are in I:042 to I:057 and I:104 to I:105.
For writing I plan to use FSC, COP and MSG in PLC5.
__________________________________________________
PLC5
FSC N10:120 Len 16 <> N10:200 Len16
COP N10:120 Len 16 to N10:200 Len16
MSG
This PLC5: Communication Command PLC5-Typed Write, Data Table Address N10:200, Size in elements 16, Port Number 5
Target Device: Data Table Address 10(???), Local Station Address(oct) 33 (Gateway), Local/ Remote Local.
_________________________________________________
CLX
Map PLC5
Filenumber 10 (???), Name N10[0]
N10[0] is DINT[16] Data type.
My questions are
1. Is my PLC5 MSG structure correct? is target data table address just 10.
2. How do I match a Filenumber in CLX to N10[0] in the PLC5 if not 10?
3. If Filenumber only accepts integers, do I need to move a whole data table?
Thanks in advance.
