Device Definition Example
Device Definition includes these parameters:
Parameter | Definition | Available Choices |
|---|---|---|
Device Type | Displays the device catalog number and type. | Device-specific |
Name | Enter an IEC 61131 compliant device name. If an invalid character is entered in this field, or if the
name exceeds 40 characters, the software ignores the
character. | All valid values |
Description | Enter the description of the device. | All valid values |
Slot | Specify the slot number where the device resides. Only slots
between 1 and the maximum number of I/O devices are valid
depending on the platform. When the device is created, the slot number defaults to the
first available slot position. When the controller is changed to one supporting a smaller
maximum I/O count, the current slot value may no longer be
valid. | 1…32 |
Series | Specifies the series of the device. | Device-specific |
Revision | Specifies the major and minor revisions of the device. The
valid range for minor revision is from 1…255. | Device-specific |
Electronic Keying | Defines the electronic keying used for the device. Electronic
keying compares the device defined in the project to the
installed device. If keying fails, a fault occurs. For detailed information on Electronic keying, see Electronic
Keying in Logix 5000 Control Systems Application Technique,
publication LOGIX-AT001. |
|
Connection | Specify the type of data transferred between the device and
controller. For the Listen Only Data choice, the controller and device
establish communication without the controller sending any
configuration or output data to the device. A full input
data connection is established but depends on the connection
between the owner-controller and the device. |
|
Output Data | Select the output data type for the device. |
