7.Programming the ControlLogix CPU for a small SlotServer Interface

The discussion that follows describes the basic steps to set up and test the system for transferring data between CPU tags and the SlotServer using the I/O image method. The quick Start example uses LonWorks as the example 3rd Party Protocol. A hardcoded template is filled with Lon variables is created. Each item uses a different amount of bytes and the total adds up to 104 Lon Network Variables. This limit of 104 does not apply when using customized data items – the actual limit is 496 bytes. Refer to the Advanced Project to access more than 104 Network Variables.

7.1.Step 1: Establish an RSLogix project5

•Use File/New to create a new project or File/Open to open an existing project.

Ensure that this is the slot number in the rack where your Controller resides.

5Your Controller may be of a different type to the one shown in the example.
