5.1STEPS TO CONFIGURE THE HS500E

See Chapter 2 for instructions on configuring the IP address of the HS500E. Sections 5.2 through 5.4 in this chapter will help you accomplish the following:

ƒConfigure the HS500E via OnDemand Node Configuration

ƒCreate “Controller Tags” in the PLC

ƒVerify PLC and HS500E connectivity

5 . 1 . 1 H T M L S e r v e r a n d O n D e m a n d O v e r v i e w

Embedded in the HS500E are an HTML Server and a set of configuration tools called the “OnDemand Utilities.” The HTML Server is used to modify and save IP address settings for the HS500E; OnDemand is used to configure and link the HS500E to specific Controller Tags as defined in the ControlLogix PLC. Both are accessed through a standard Web browser.

OnDemand is Escort Memory Systems’ approach to adding Change of State messaging to Rockwell Automation’s (RA) ControlLogix PLC and adding legacy support for the RA PLC5E and RA SCL5/05 PLCs.

NOTE:

The ControlLogix PLC refers to a “controller tag” as a small block of internal memory that is used to temporarily store outgoing (command) and incoming (response) data. Within each tag, information is stored in two-byte segments, known as registers or “words.”

5.2HS500E NODE CONFIGURATION

After you have configured the HS500E’s IP address, you must configure Node 01 on the HS500E.

1Open a Web browser and enter the HS500E’s new IP address in the URL field. The HTML Server – Main Page will be displayed.

2At the HTML Server – Main Page click the link labeled: OnDemand Configuration. The OnDemand Configuration Page will be displayed.

OnDemand Configuration is used to link the HS500E to controller tags defined in the ControlLogix PLC. The OnDemand Configuration Page allows the user to modify the settings of the HS500E’s Node.
