Configuration

Add-On-Profile (AOP)

The module interface to the Logix controller is configured through a custom, separately-installable Add-On-Profile within RSLogix5000 Software. When a module from the RSLogix5000 or Studio5000 "Select Module" dialog is added to the project tree, custom Module-Defined Data Types, and corresponding Input and Output tags are created in the project.

Upon clicking the "CHANGE" button in the Module Definition section on the General page of the AOP, the user selects Revision and Data Format used in the Data Types and Tags. A producer/consumer IO connection using the module's specific IO assemblies and sizes are created.

Other Types of Configuration

Note: Refer to the ACT350 User's Guide for a detailed explanation of the following methods.

DIP Switch Settings:

There are no DIP switch settings for the ACT350.

IP Configuration

The Windows DOS utility, IPCONFIG/ALL, can be used to display the IP address of the host computer. The first three groups of numbers in the IP address and the Subnet mask should be the same as on the ACT350 EtherNet/IP Interface module.

Ping Test

The Windows DOS command, "PING (address of target)", can be used to check if the ACT350 EtherNet/IP interface module is responding on the network at the expected address.

ACT350 Configuration

The IP address and other network parameters of the ACT350 EtherNet/IP interface are configured using the ACT350's setup screens on its front panel. Other configurations involve selecting the appropriate data format (ie. 1-Block or 2-Block). This will affect the module's specific IO assemblies and size to allow proper operation.

Setup+ Configuration Tool

METTLER TOLEDO provides the Setup+ configuration tool to allow a PC to configure the ACT350 remotely over a Serial connection. More details can be found on the ACT350 Technical Manual.
