Compactlogix via RSlogix 5000

Post by mhi_rockerz » Mon Dec 07, 2015 7:31 am

Hello,

I have 2 question.

1) How to read the Processor data (Serial No and Type) of the Compact Logix CPU from RS Logix 5000?
For SLC 500 CPU, we can read the Processor data from the STATUS File from the RS logix 500 .

2) How to implement the "Deny Future Access" function in RS logix 5000? In RS logix 500, we can easily implement this function by thick this "Deny Future Access" function.


Thank you.

Use the security tools to lock which i think no possible to unlock. For SLC system bit locked, i think still can be access even if you latched the bit...

a) You can read that information using RSLinx. Locate the CPU and click on properties.
b) You can access the controller properties by clicking on the Controller Properties in RsLogix.
c) If you need the information to be public to HMI, Scada or other controllers, use a GSV instruction on the PLC logic to read the controller information (serial, time and others) and write some variables.

You can use CPU Lock Tool (from Tools folder in your RSLogix Installation CD, or downloading it from RA website). You need to asign a password to be able to lock/unlock a CPU.

If you have FTV Asset Center (former RSMacc) you can also control the access to any CPU on your net.

Thank you Nowanh and Yeosh99 for your good answer.

Can anyone show me example on how to use GSV instruction to read the processor type, serial number to display on HMI?

1. Open your RSLogix and go to Help > Instruction Help. Then look for Input/Output Instructions. Click on GSV button. There you have information about how GSV works.
At the bottom on the page you have serveral links. Please go to those pages and read them.
Hint: serial and processor type (ProductCode) are attributes inside ControllerDevice object.

2. Look for the Logix Instruction manual on Rockwell website. It's free.
