AutomationDirect Productivity Series Ethernet

review the following information for setting up and configuring the automationdirect productivity series ethernet driver the driver connects to productivity series controllers over ethernet and supports polled reads, writes, and tag browsing tag browsing depends on a tag file that you export from the productivity suite programming software export the plc tags as a csv file and upload the file to the /ftp data/devicehub/ folder on litmus edge (le) before you browse tags note this driver is experimental some features may not work as expected compatibility compatibility parameter compatible items driver type ethernet validated devices/series automationdirect p3 550 how to configure the plc to set up and configure this device in litmus edge, you will need to do the following step 1 set up and configure the plc device step 2 set up the plc device in litmus edge devicehub step 3 configure the list of registers step 1 set up and configure the plc device if the device is configured for ethernet access, find its network parameters otherwise, use the productivity suite programming software to configure the device for ethernet access open the plc project in the productivity suite programming software note down the ip address and the port the controller uses for ethernet communication export the plc tags to a csv file upload the exported csv file to the /ftp data/devicehub/ folder on litmus edge step 2 set up the plc device in litmus edge devicehub configure the following parameters when you connect a device docid\ pal6abpzbrimdu9lvgj30 with this driver update default values to the specific setup of your device parameter value type automationdirect driver automationdirect productivity series ethernet network address the device address you noted in step 1 network port the port the controller uses for ethernet communication plc tags exported csv the name of the tag csv file you exported from the productivity suite programming software and uploaded to /ftp data/devicehub/ step 3 configure the list of registers when you add a tag docid\ tuy hh0gi8djvot70wroh to the connected device, refer to the following register table and tag parameters refer to the following additional resources organize device and tag data by using metadata docid\ mu 6j6zhi0cvchdad0w8n tag formula variables docid\ io7xgyrdvv vmpnfxoaci register table

select a register name from the drop down list available options depend on the names in the register table value type select a data type from the drop down list available options depend on the register name selected polling interval enter a value in seconds this determines how often the tag should poll the register for data tag name enter a name for the tag description (optional) enter a description for the tag address enter a tag address the value must be in the decimal format within the allowed min/max range omit the leading zeros the device might use the decimal (d), hexadecimal (h), or octal (o) address format see the register table at the bottom of the dialog box for bit tags, append the bit address without the bit separator the lowercase letters in the address format indicate how many digits you should enter in the bit address count enter the number of register values to read a count higher than one generates an array of values from the address value configured and respective subsequent address values tag formula enter a formula to process tag data see tag formula below only publish on change of value select the checkbox to publish nats messages only when the value parameter changes to a new value change of value only applies to boolean, numeric (such as int or float), and simple string data types it does not apply to complex types, such as json or array poll once topics are not affected by change of value settings these topics will still only see a single message meta data metadata summarizes basic information about data this feature allows you to define key value pair data for the device output payload later on it can then be used to find, use, and reuse particular instances of data note if you use special characters in meta data key names, the special characters are replaced with underscore characters in the payload this can cause two key names to be combined into one for example, configuring the key names a b and a&\&b will cause only one key name to be created ( a b ) tag formula enter a formula for the tag to process the generated data two variables are permitted value (current tag value) and timestamp (current tag unix time in milliseconds) the following math functions are available function description sin sine cos cosine sqrt square root tan tangent power(x) performs the operation 10^x log(x) natural logarithm (base e) exp(x) performs the operation e^x
