Sets/Returns CIP Path for ControlLogix Gateway

Property Value

Default value is "0".

Implements

IController.Path

Remarks

Set the CPUType for the following ControlLogix Gateways

PLC - PLC-5 Data Highway Plus

PLCCNET - PLC-5 ControlNet

SLC - SLC 5/04 Data Highway Plus

 

Connecting to ControlLogix Gateway:

When addressing a PLC/SLC node through a ControlLogix Gateway, you need to specify a routing path (Hop)

• Always start with "1"

• I/O Slot of the 1756-DH+/RIO Module

• The 1756-DH+/RIO Channel to Use (A or B)

• The Data Highway Plus Node Address of the target (Decimal Address)

 

Example Hop:  1.2.A.10

1 = Back Plane

2 = I/O chassis slot of 1756-DH+/RIO Module

A = Channel A of the 1756 DH+/RIO Module.

10 = PLC Node (decimal address)

 

Connecting to non-ControlLogix Gateway:

Specify "0" in the Path property.
