General
This "Basic Module Information" (BMI) provides quick access to a list of the main
module functions, some attributes, and the location of more detailed module information.
IMPORTANT:
When developing an application, or
troubleshooting a significant problem, it is IMPORTANT to read and follow more detailed
module information, including safety recommendations. The primary source of detailed module
information is the ILX56-PNC User Manual, which is available for download from the ProSoft
Technology website (https://www.prosoft-technology.com/).
Function
The ILX56-PNC PROFINET Controller module allows Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix®
processors to communicate on a PROFINET RT protocol network with up to 64 PROFINET devices.
The module provides the ability to pass up to 4096 bytes of input and output data as
high-speed cyclic I/O data on a PROFINET RT network.
Combined with the use of multiple I/O connections with the ControlLogix processor, this
module provides data update rates that will meet even the most demanding of PROFINET RT
applications.
Configuration
The easy-to-use configuration utility, ProSoft PLX50 Configuration Utility, is used to
configure the PROFINET network. Data formatted into engineering units for ControlLogix
platform by using the automatically generated mapping imports for Logix User Defined Data
Types (UDTs).
