Address

Enter the Network Address for the device.

The network address for CIMPLICITY device configuration has following format :

Driver_name, Port_id, Station_number

Where:

Driver_name is the name of the driver user configured in the Rockwell Software RSLinx OEM driver configuration.

For the Ethernet driver, use AB_ETH-1.

For the 1784-KTX Data Highway Plus driver, use AB_KT-1.

Port_id has the following format :

AB:KEYWORD/B:b/L:l/G:g/P:p/M:m/C:c/E:e/KA

Where:

KEYWORD

is the port type. Valid port types are:

LOCAL

OFFLINK

PIGATEWAY

DF1MASTER

/B:b

is the bridge address in the range from 1–376 (octal).

/L:l

is the Destination Link ID in the range from 0–65535 (decimal).

/G:g

is the Gateway to final DH­485 Link in the range from 1–367 (octal).

/P:p

is the Pushwheel Number in the range from 0–4 (Ethernet).

/M:m

is the Module Type. Valid types are:

RM

KA

/C:c

is the Channel Number. Valid numbers are 0, 2 or 3.

/E:e

is the Station number used in the Rockwell Software RSLinx OEM driver configuration.

The number is an octal number in the range
of 0-77 (RSLinx software used a decimal number here).

If you are using the CIMPLICITY Host Redundancy option and the KT or KTX card, do not use the /E:e option.

/KA

is used if the Bridge requires 1785-KA addressing mode.

/KA is required to communicate through a 1785-KA from Data Highway Plus to Data Highway.

If you need help defining the Port ID, see your Allen-Bradley network administrator.

Station_number specifies the station number of a remote processor on an Allen-Bradley network.

Valid station numbers are :

For Ethernet, use the station number used in the RSLinx Ethernet driver configuration. The number is an octal number in the range of 0-77 (RSLinx software uses a decimal number).

For Data Highway channels, 1-376 (octal).

For Data Highway Plus channels, 0-77 (octal).

For Data Highway-485 channels, 0-37 (octal).

For RS-232 Full Duplex DF1, 0-77 (octal).
