Assembly Mapping to PLC Tags


Inputs to PLC from RaptorLinx-Ai-ST Outputs

For our example, we have two sensors (PE-1 and PE-2) as inputs. We created suggested tag names for the PLC to use and the following table indicates the Input Assembly, Index of the Register within that Assembly, and the Bits within the Register for the PLC to associate with the tag.

PE_1_Blocked State Mapped to Bit 07 Input 103 10
PE_2_Blocked State Mapped to Bit 05 Input 103 10


Outputs from PLC to RaptorLinx-Ai-ST Inputs

For our example, we need PLC Outputs to run the motor and select one of the 4 configured motor profiles. We created suggested tag names for the PLC to use and the following table indicates the Input Assembly, Index of the Register within that Assembly, and the Bits within the Register for the PLC to associate with the tag.

Run_Motor True Set Bit 01, Clear Bits 02, 03 Output 106 0
Run_Motor False Set Bit 02, Clear Bits 01, 03 Output 106 0
Set_Profile_0 True Clear Bits 04, 05, 06 Output 106 0
Set_Profile_1 True Set Bit 04, Clear Bits 05, 06 Output 106 0
Set_Profile_2 True Set Bit 05, Clear Bits 04, 06 Output 106 0
Set_Profile_3 True Set Bits 04, 05, Clear Bit 06 Output 106 0
