Note: For PanelMate PC applications that require data exchanges between RS232 and RS422/485
ports, a RS232 to RS422/485 converter is required to enable communication.
Chapter 2: Allen-Bradley PLC-5 PLCs 31
Note 1: Standard 1770-CD twinaxial cable or equivalent should be used. A minimum cable length of
20 feet between nodes should be observed. Proper network termination procedures should be
observed. Network connections for the AcceleratI/On interface are at the rear of the unit.
Network connections to PanelMate PC are located on the 5136-SD communications card.
Note 2: Two sets of electrically-common network connections are provided : 1, Shield, 2. A six-
position female connector is shipped with each interface. Cabling connections are made to
this female connector. The connector is then attached to the AcceleratI/On interface. With
the connector attached, a continuous cable path is maintained on the Data Highway Plus, but
if the cable is removed, the network link will be severed. If you desire to maintain the
network with the connector removed, then connect the wires from the previous station and the
next station in the same terminals (effectively jumpering the signals). This will permit wiring
continuity even if the connector is removed.
Note 3: A 150-Ohm resistor should be attached to the female connector for proper termination when
required. Consult Allen-Bradley documentation for information regarding correct
termination of Data Highway Plus. In general, the following rules apply: If the
AcceleratI/On interface is the end node on a network, the supplied 150-ohm resistor is
needed. If the interface is not the end node on the network, the resistor is not needed.

• Monitored I/O
• Block Transfers
• Active Racks
When the Operator Station is connected to the Remote I/O network, a unique monitor mode permits
the Operator Station with an AcceleratI/On or a 5136-SD communications card to read discrete inputs,
outputs, or block transfers directly off the I/O link without requiring the PLC to transmit the data to the
Operator Station.
While the Operator Station is communicating to one or more Allen-Bradley PLCs through the
AcceleratI/On or 5136-SD communications card, it can still simultaneously communicate to other
PLCs using a serial port.
When an AcceleratI/On or 5136-SD communications card is used as an interface to the Remote I/O
network, the Operator Station simulates one or more remote racks. Each rack can be split into a quarter
rack or any multiples of a quarter rack (i.e., 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or full rack). The PLC can use normal I/O
scan or block transfer operations to read or write data to or from the Operator Station, as though the
interface was a rack. As with any Remote network, the PLC will be the master while the Operator
Station will be a slave.
Chapter 2: Allen-Bradley PLC-5 PLCs 37
Monitored I/O
The monitoring feature allows a Operator Station to reference all I/O data in a remote rack utilizing the
PLC's standard I/O scan. This will not affect the I/O scan time nor will it require additional ladder
logic to be used.
The following addressing format will be used:
[T:RG/BB]
T File type (I=input or O=output)
: Type separator
R Rack number
(1-7 octal for PLC-2)
(0-37 octal for PLC-3)
(1-3 octal for PLC-5/15)
(1-7 octal for PLC-5/25)
(0-3 octal for SLC 5/02)
G Group number (0-7)
BB Bit specifier (0-17 octal, 2-digit maximum)
Example: [I:10/0]
Operator Stations will reference input bit 0 in rack 1, group 0, slot 0.
For a PLC-2, PLC-5/15, PLC-5/25, and SLC 5/02, the maximum rack number can be contained within
one octal digit. The first character after the file type separator character ":" is the rack number. Since
a PLC-3 may have more than eight racks, the rack number may be comprised of two octal digits. If
two octal digits are entered consecutively after the file type separator, then the rack number is
assumed to be the first octal digit and the group number is assumed to be the second octal digit. If
three octal digits are entered consecutively after the file type separator, then the rack number is
assumed to be the first two octal digits and the group number is assumed to be the third octal digit.
40 PanelMate Allen-Bradley Communication Driver Manual
Example: [R:100 1]
The Operator Station will reference word 1 of the block transfer read going to the PLC from the
module that is in rack 1, group 0, slot 0.
For a PLC-2, PLC-5/15, PLC-5/25, and SLC 5/02, the maximum rack number can be contained within
one octal digit; thus, the first character after the file type separator character ":" is the rack number.
Since a PLC-3 may have more than eight racks, the rack number may be comprised of two octal digits.
If three octal digits are entered consecutively after the file type separator, then the rack number is
assumed to be the first octal digit, the group number is assumed to be the second octal digit and the
slot number is assumed to be the third octal digit. If four octal digits are entered consecutively after the
file type separator, then the rack number is assumed to be the first two octal digits, the group number
is assumed to be the third octal digit, the slot number is assumed to be the fourth octal digit.
42 PanelMate Allen-Bradley Communication Driver Manual
Block Transfers
Many of Allen-Bradley's PLC modules support block transfers. These modules generally have more
than one word of information per slot, and block transfers are the only convenient way of moving data
between these modules and the PLC. The data is moved from the module into a data file within the
PLC. One block transfer can move up to 64 words of data, the block transfer specified by giving the
rack, group and slot. Block transfers only occur when the PLC is programmed to use them. To
implement a block transfer, a block transfer read (BTR) or block transfer write (BTW) instruction is
placed on one of the ladder logic rungs. The instruction will specify the rack-group-slot for the transfer
as well as the number of words, file and starting element number.
The Operator Station's interface card supports two types of block transfers (monitored and active). For
monitored block transfers, the Operator Station will monitor all block transfers being sent from the
PLC to the various racks and keep one read and one write per slot. For active block transfers, the
Operator Station is capable of sending and receiving block transfer reads and writes for racks that have
been made active. To accomplish this, the size and location of all active block transfers to be executed
by an active rack must be specified before communications start. Active block transfers must still be
programmed into the PLC for any data exchanges to take place.
Monitored and active Block Transfers can be addressed as octal or decimal. To configure the address
for the Block Transfers as octal or decimal, refer to the Block Transfer Addressing section in the
Remote I/O Editor topic.
Chapter 2: Allen-Bradley PLC-5 PLCs 43
The PLC program should use verified read data. When moving data from one type of data table
section to another, the FAL instruction will convert the data format (such as integer to BCD). If this is
not desired, use the File Copy instruction.
44 PanelMate Allen-Bradley Communication Driver Manual
Active Racks
An active rack is a rack that does not physically exist but rather is being simulated by the Operator
Station interface. Simulating a rack or multiples of a quarter rack is the only way for the Operator
Station to write data to the PLC. You must define the Operator Station as an Active Rack in order to
have control bits read by a PLC.
Chapter 2: Allen-Bradley PLC-5 PLCs 47
The Operator Station is capable of simulating racks on the bus as well as monitoring the other racks'
data. This is very important since the only way for the Operator Station to write to the PLC is through
a simulated rack. The Operator Station interface card can simulate any or all available unused racks,
but must not attempt to simulate rack addresses for racks that physically exist. If a physical rack is
being simulated, both the Operator Station and the physical rack will respond to any messages, causing
invalid data to be sent to the PLC.
The Allen-Bradley Remote I/O Configuration Editor contains a section called the Active Rack Table
which will be used when configuring the active racks. Since the maximum number of racks that can be
addressed is dependent upon the PLC type, it will be necessary to enter the Remote I/O PLC model
first in the PLC Name and Port Table before proceeding to the Allen-Bradley Remote I/O
Configuration Editor. Refer to the Remote I/O Editor topic for more information on configuring the
Operator Station with Remote I/O.
The following table shows the addressable racks for each PLC model.
Number of Racks
PLC Type Octal Decimal Range
PLC-2 7 7 1-7
PLC-3 37 32 0-37
• Can only write to input references if the reference's rack is active (set as active in Active Rack
Table)
• Can only write to active block transfer references with a direction of READ or COMMON
Note: Block read calculations should be kept in mind when building configurations if update speed
or network loading are important factors in the overall system.
Note: Block reads are configured separately for each scan (screen, alarm, message & trend). Total
block reads for an individual page will be the addition of all relevant scans.

Unsolicited Messages
The PanelMate operator station can accept unsolicited write messages (MSG instructions) from a PLC
through the Data Highway or Data Highway Plus networks when using an AcceleratI/On or 5136-SD
communications card. The PanelMate operator station supports only protected and unprotected writes.
Unsoliciteds should only be used for priority information transfer. If the PanelMate operator station
receives an unsolicited message from a PLC, the normal polling will be interrupted and the unsolicited
message will be immediately processed. Once completed, the PanelMate operator station s normal
polling will resume.
From the PLC s perspective, the PanelMate operator station will be seen as another PLC on the
network.
If you are using a PLC-5, unsolicited messages are referred to as PLC MSG instructions.
The following is an example of unsolicited writes to the PanelMate operator station using a PLC-5.
MSG instructions must be write only because the PanelMate operator station can only receive
unsoliciteds, and will not respond to unsolicited reads.
When a PLC-5 model sends unsoliciteds (MSG instructions) to the PanelMate operator station, the
PLC provides three pieces of information in the communication packet that is sent: File Number,
Element Number, and Data Type. Inputs (I), Outputs (O), Status (S), Bit (B), and Integer (N) file types
all have the Integer (signed 16) data type. Timer (T), Counter (C), Control (R), Float (F), and BCD (D)
all have their own data types. File types are not sent in the data packet.
The PanelMate operator station cannot determine the validity of the file type of the file number where
the PLC is attempting to send data. Since it is valid for the user to enter B10:0, N10:0, F10:0, etc. in
the same configuration, the PLC driver must make certain assumptions and will assign the file type
based on the data type given in the communication packet. This, in conjunction with the information
given in the communication packet, restricts the types of unsolicited writes the PanelMate operator
station can accept from a given source file type.
Chapter 2: Allen-Bradley PLC-5 PLCs 53
The rules for unsolicited writes from a PLC-5 are listed below.
1. If the destination file number is 0, the data will go to the PanelMate operator station s Output
File type (O). In thePanelMate operator station, the file number 0 is reserved for Output only.
2. If the destination file number is 1, the data will go to the PanelMate operator station s Input
File type (I). In the PanelMate operator station, the file number 1 is reserved for Input only.
3. If the destination file number is 2, the data will go to the PanelMate operator station s Status
File type (S). In the PanelMate operator station, the file number 2 is reserved for Status only.
4. If the source data type is Integer (i.e., file type Output, Input, Status, Bit, or Integer), the
unsolicited write will go to the PanelMate operator station s Integer file type (N). Note that the
data type is known, not the file type. The PanelMate operator station will reference all signed
16-bit integers as file type N.
5. If the destination is not file 0, 1, or 2 and the source data type is Timer, the data will go to the
PanelMate operator station s Timer File type (T).
6. If the destination is not file 0, 1, or 2 and the source data type is Counter, the data will go to the
PanelMate operator station s Counter File type (C).

Chapter 3: Allen-Bradley SLC 500 PLCs 79
Note: For PanelMate PC applications, a female 9-pin connector is required for connecting to a male
9-pin port. To quickly convert a Cutler-Hammer cable for PC use, simply attach the 9-pin
Gender Changer found in the PanelMate PC Runtime Kit.
Note: Standard 1770-CD twinaxial cable or equivalent should be used. A minimum cable length of
20 feet between nodes should be observed. Proper network termination procedures should be
observed. Network connections for the AcceleratI/On interface are at the rear of the unit.
Network connections for PanelMate PC are located on the 5136-SD card.
Note: Two sets of electrically-common network connections are provided : 1, Shield, 2. A six-
position female connector is shipped with each interface. Cabling connections are made to
this female connector. The connector is then attached to the AcceleratI/On interface. With
the connector attached, a continuous cable path is maintained on the Data Highway Plus, but
if the cable is removed, the network link will be severed. If you desire to maintain the
network with the connector removed, then connect the wires from the previous station and the
next station in the same terminals (effectively jumpering the signals). This will permit wiring
continuity even if the connector is removed.
Note: 150-Ohm resistor should be attached to the female connector for proper termination when
required. Consult Allen-Bradley documentation for information regarding correct
termination of Data Highway Plus. In general, the following rules apply: If the
AcceleratI/On interface is the end node on a network, the supplied 150-ohm resistor is
needed. If the interface is not the end node on the network, the resistor is not needed.
