Applies To:
  • CitectSCADA 4.xx, 5.xx

Summary:
A driver has been developed to allow Citect communications with the LG (Lucky Goldstar) K500 or K1000 series PLCs. How is it used? 

Solution:
The driver uses the standard serial communications.

I/O device form:
Protocol: LGDIRECT500 or LGDIRECT1000
Address: 0 for RS232, or 0 to 15 in multi-drop RS422

Ports form:
Baud rate: 19200
Data bits: 8
Stop bits: 1
Parity: None

IO Device Type Citect data type Citect data type Description/Special Usage/Limitations/ Valid Ranges
Timer Value T a INTEGER (UNSIGNED) a: 0000 - 0255
Counter Value C a INTEGER (UNSIGNED) a: 0000 - 0255
Step Controller S a INTEGER (UNSIGNED) a: 0000 - 0099
Data Register D a INTEGER (UNSIGNED) a: 0000 - 9999
Auxilliary Relay M b or M b.c INTEGER (UNSIGNED) OR DIGITAL b: 000 - 191c: 0 - 15
I/O Relay P b or P b.c INTEGER (UNSIGNED) OR DIGITAL b: 000 - 063c: 0 - 15
Keep Relay K b or K b.c INTEGER (UNSIGNED) OR DIGITAL b: 000 - 031c: 0 - 15
Special Relay F b or F b.c INTEGER (UNSIGNED) OR DIGITAL b: 000 - 031c: 0 - 15
Link Relay L b or L b.c INTEGER (UNSIGNED) OR DIGITAL b: 000 - 063c: 0 - 15

Where:
a Four digits forming the word location in decimal.
b The first three digits forming the word address of the word or the word address in which the bit is located. It is in decimal.
c The bit location (within the word) in decimal (0-15).

This can be obtained directly from our FTP site if you have access permission's. The driver ZIP file includes instructions for installing the driver, the actual driver with any support files required, and an example Citect database for the driver.
