AB DF1 Ethernet

review the following information for setting up and configuring the ab df1 ethernet driver litmus edge compatible series compatibility parameter compatible items driver type ethernet validated devices/series plc 5 replaces gen 1 driver(s) ab plc5 (gen1) docid\ pmkeh51uloxbfcrleobib 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 step 2 set up the plc device in litmus edge devicehub configure the following parameters when you connect a device docid 3eyafppweuvmblcey17sq with this driver update default values to the specific setup of your device parameter value type allen bradley driver ab df1 ethernet network address the device address you recorded in step 1 port 2222 plc type plc5 source id (src byte) 0 destination id (dst byte) 0 read timeout 1000 (ms) retry count 0 keep alive 60 (tcp keep alive) step 3 configure the list of registers when you add tags docid 8se7z3pmrfwl1nmzcwalx to the connected device, refer to the following register table and tag parameters refer to the following additional resources device and tag metadata use case docid 583p fbuozem6whgrdgkq tag formula variables docid\ ifbwcou90qtfodk hrysr register table note the register table below represents the plc address format in litmus edge, you will need to enter the tag address in decimal format this means you must convert the plc addresses for the input and output data files from octal format to decimal format name value types access types address format min address max address description o uint r/w ooo 0 255 output o bit bit r/w ooooo 0 25515 output i uint r/w ooo 0 255 input i bit bit r/w ooooo 0 25515 input s uint r/w ddd 0 255 status s bit bit r/w ddddd 0 25515 status b bit r/w ddddddd 0 3276015 binary t bit bit r/w ddddd 0 32760 timer t uint r/w ddddd 0 32760 timer c bit bit r/w ddddd 0 32760 counter c uint r/w ddddd 0 32760 counter r bit bit r/w ddddd 0 32760 control r uint r/w ddddd 0 32760 control n uint, int r/w ddddd 0 32760 integer f float r/w ddddd 0 32760 float d bcd r/w ddddd 0 32760 bcd a string r/w ddddd 0 32760 ascii st string r/w ddddd 0 32760 string tag parameters name select a register name from the drop down list the available options depend on the names in the register table value type select a data type from the drop down list the 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 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 1 will generate an array of values from the address value configured and respective subsequent address values length available for ascii data files enter the number of characters for tag values 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 sin cos sqrt tan power power( x ) performs the operation 10^x log log( x ) is the natural logarithm (the logarithm is in base e ) exp exp( x ) performs the operation e^x only publish on change of value select the checkbox to customize nats messages to be published only when the value parameter changes from a previous value to a new one 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 will not be 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)
