Chapter 19
Use GuardPLC Controller as an Adapter
Refer to the Enhanced and Ethernet PLC-5 Programmable Controllers
User Manual, publication 1785-UM012, or to the SLC 500 Modular
Hardware Style User Manual, publication 1747-UM011, for more
information on configuring these controllers for Ethernet
communication.
You will also need RSLogix 5 programming software to configure the
PLC-5 controller or RSLogix 500 programming software to configure
the SLC 5/05 controller.
Follow these steps to enable communication between the GuardPLC
controller, acting as an adapter (target), and a PLC-5 or SLC 5/05
controller.
1. Create a GuardPLC adapter Assembly Instance (input or output),
including the data type, assembly size, and assembly name. See
pages 215 and 216.
TIP
Make sure the Run/Idle header box is unchecked as
PCCC messages do not use a Run/Idle header.
2. Configure an EtherNet/IP driver for the PLC-5 or SLC 5/05
controller by using RSLinx software.
3. Add a MSG instruction to the PLC-5 or SLC 5/05 application
program logic.
4. Save and download your application.
These steps are described in more detail beginning on page 237.
For detailed information on the MSG Instruction, refer to these
publications:
• PLC-5 Programmable Controllers Instruction Set Reference
Manual, publication 1785-6.1.
• SLC 500 Instruction Set Reference Manual, publication
1747-RM001.
