Introduction:
This document is a brief introduction to the configuration of the QuickPanel View to
an Allen Bradley SLC 5/03 DH485 port.
For the AB Programming, you will need:
1 copy of Proficy Machine Edition v5.7 SP 1
1 QuickPanel View
1 - copy of RSLogix 500 programming software
1 - copy of RSLinx Lite industrial communications software
1 - 1747-CP3, SER A rs232 programming cable
1 SLC 5/03 CPU, SLC 500 rack and a SLC 500 power supply
1 1761-CBL-PM02
1 - 1761-NET-ENI
1 copy of ENI/ENIW Utility
1 either a crossover Ethernet cable or a standard Ethernet cable connected through
a Hub

Proficy Machine Edition v5.7 SP 1 online Help
Sample project and screen shots created with Proficy Machine Edition v5.7 SP1
Screen shots from RSLogix 500 are from v5.50.00
Screen shots from RSLinx are from v2.40.01
Once the RSLinx Gateway screen is up, go to the Communications menu and select
Configure Drivers.
To connect to the processor via DF1 Channel 0, we need to set up a driver for this.
Use the drop down menu and select the RS-232 DF1 devices click on Add New.
Upon clicking OK: a Configure RS-232 DF1 Devices screen will appear. Ensure that
your 1747-CP3, SER A - rs232 programming cable is plugged into a communication
port and Channel 0 9-pin port on the processor. Take note of the port you are
connected to.
Once you have a successful Auto-Configure, take note of the settings and click on
the OK button.
You will see the Configure Drivers screen once again. Note that there is now a driver
and the status is Running.
A Select Processor Type screen will appear. Choose a 5/03 CPU and press OK. Do
not worry if you dont have the exact processor type, the download will correct this
for you.
Ensure that the correct rack is selected and any I/O cards you have are inserted.
Close the IO Configuration screen.
Find your
processor in
the list and
choose to
download.
In the ENI IP Addr tab, ensure that select the correct ENI Series from the
dropdown. Ensure to fill in the ENI IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway if
needed.
Once we are completed this, we are ready to save the configuration to the ENI.
Notice that there are separate memory areas to save the
configuration to: ENI/RAM & ENI/ROM.
Ram is for temporary configurations, ROM is for a permanent
configuration.
Make your selection to load the configuration.
If you have chosen a incompatible IP or subnet, you will have a flashing Fault LED
on the 1761-NET-ENI unit.
At this point you should be able to connect an Ethernet cable is going through a hub
or a cross over cable is you are connecting directly from your PC to ENI.
Try to ping the IP address assigned to the ENI. You should get a reply.
.
Connect the 1761-CBL-PM02 from the SLC 5/03 Channel 0 to your 8 pin din on the
1761-NET-ENI.
Left click on the RSLinx Communication Service system tray Icon
Once the RSLinx Gateway screen is up, go to the Communications menu and select
Configure Drivers.
Use the drop down menu and select the Ethernet devices click on Add New.
To verify that the network is in fact seeing the SLC 5/03, open the
RSLinx Gateway.
A node should appear indicating that the SLC 5/03 can be seen via the IP you set on
the ENI.
Once you see your New Channel appear under your View OPC Drivers, right click
on the Channel and choose a New Device.
Choose your
communication timing
parameters and click Next.
Note that the New Channel properties can still be accessed. Right click on Channel
1, choose Properties. In the Inspector, left click on the Click Here and then left
click on the elipse.
Note that the New Device properties can still be accessed. Right click on Device 1,
choose Properties. In the Inspector, left click on the Click Here and then left click
elipse.

Variable Addressing
The variables to address are the variables available in the data files in the SLC 5/-3
processor.
Please note that there are limited variables configured by default in the Allen Bradley
processors.
O0 - OUTPUT 0 elements by default
I1 INPUT 0 elements by default
S2 STATUS 82 read only elements by default
B3 - INTEGER 0 elements by default
T4 TIMER 1 element by default
C5 COUNTER 1 element by default
R6 CONTROL 1 element by default
N7 - INTEGER 1 element by default
This means that you are very limited to what may be addressed with a default
configuration Allen Bradley processor.
If you have variables in the QuickPanel View Project that do not exist in the Allen
Bradley Processor, you will need to edit existing Data Tables and/or create new
ones.
In my example I set up 8 different variables.
