Pulseroller has authored and made available Add On Instructions (AOI) in order to make your programming easier to follow. In this document up until this section, when connecting to a regardless of mode; your PLC program needs to directly access the register data array tags created when you created the instance. The AOIs attach to the created ’s register data arrays and maps the data into user tags and functions with meaningful names. There are two separate AOIs for use depending on the mode of the you want to connect: a ZPA mode AOI and a PLC I/O mode AOI
Selecting the Proper AOI Instruction
AOI files are imported to your specific PLC program file and not into the RSLogix 5000 environment like an EDS file. The following chart provides a cross-reference for selecting the proper AOI file based upon the mode of operation
Mode | EDS File | AOI File |
---|---|---|
ZPA Mode | ConveyLinxAi_V5_1.eds | Ai2_ZPA_AOI_4_5.L5X |
PLC I/O Mode | ConveyLinxAi_V5_1.eds | Ai2_PLCIO_AOI_4_5.L5X |
