Editor – Device Page
The Allen Bradley CIP EIE supports Logix5000 and SLC-503/4/5 devices over an Ethernet connection. It includes a device template file. Interaction with this EIE occurs by way of CygNet SCADA remote device editors, a device template file, or script.
The Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) is comprised of a comprehensive list of messages and services used for automation applications including control, safety, synchronization, motion, configuration, and information.
The Allen Bradley CIP EIE supports Logix5000 and SLC-503/4/5 data groups, but each device type requires different data group definitions. A single device template file cannot include both data group types – a device template file can only support Logix5000 data groups or SLC-503/4/5 data groups. To support both field device types in a CygNet SCADA system, write separate templates for applicable device sets.
With one exception, data groups for the Allen Bradley CIP EIE are custom data groups because each must be written from scratch to satisfy specific, custom programs on associated field devices. (The exception is the "Get Attributes All" (GetAttr) data group, which is a hard-coded data group provided to retrieve identifying information about the module with which a remote device is associated.)
Note: When an Allen Bradley CIP EIE data group is in edit mode, a Send only edited items check box displays on the View Data dialog box, and when checked, only the edited values are written to the DDS transaction.
The successful use of this EIE depends very much on your knowledge of the associated field devices and the programs loaded on to them. CygNet SCADA data groups must be written to map to the controller data items that you want to include in your SCADA system. The remote device editor user interface provides tools to help make connections clear.
For more information about supported controllers, see the Rockwell Automation documents Programming Manual: Logix5000 Data Access (1756-pm020_-en-p.pdf) and SLC 500 Instruction Set Reference Manual (1747-rm001_-en-p.pdf).
