4.15 Tag_Sample
The Tag sample program shows block transfer communication with the
ControlLogix controller in Slot 0 of the ControlLogix rack. The Controller must be
loaded with the sample ladder logic and configured to communicate with the
MVI56E-LDM module. The ladder is LDM.ACD.
To run the Tag sample:
1 Open a command window using telnet or a similar terminal software on the
PC through a serial (P1) or Ethernet port.
2 Login as user: root, password: password.
To execute the sample:
1 From the default home directory /psft, type the command ./Tag_Sample&.
The program runs as a background task.
While looking at the the sample source, you'll see that the main program will....
open a connection to the hardware via the OCX library API using the
open_backplane routine. The open_backplane function will:
o call OCXcip_Open to get access to the LDM hardware and backplane
o change the module identity by reading the identity using
OCXcip_GetIdObject, changing the values of the object Id structure, and
then setting the identity with the OCXcip_SetIdObject routine.
The backplane connection service and service callback routines are then
registered with the backplane driver using the
OCXcip_RegisterAssemblyObj routine.
set each of the front panel LEDs:
o OK LED - Module status is set to Solid Green
o APP LED - the User LED is turned off
o ERR LED - LED3 is set to off
read the series and revision of the API, backplane engine, and device driver
using OCXcip_GetVersionInfo and prints it to the console.
call print_rack_information to read the size and modules in the current rack
using OCXcip_GetActiveNodeTable and prints to the console. Additionally, this
routine reads detailed information about the controller in Slot 0 using the
OCXcip_GetExDevObject routine and prints the information to the console.
display "Run" on the LDM front panel using a call to Display.
The program enters a main infinite loop and waits for the ControlLogix controller
to open a connection to the MVI56E-LDM. Once the connection is established:
the LDM module's status is changed to connected and owned using two calls
to OCXcip_SetModuleStatusWord.
the rack information is printed to the console again
the entire tag database is read and printed to the console using
open_tag_dbase.
This routine does the following:
