The data source input screen opens, in which you can select the Allen-Bradley data source as “Type” as the first step.
However, if you first assign a name to the data source and it contains the word “allen“, “Allen_Bradley” is already preselected as the data source type. (This works with all data source types)
Once this has been done, the data source-specific settings of the Allen-Bradley data source are automatically adjusted.
Allen-Bradley Specific
- IP address
Enter the desired target IP address. - Port
Enter the pot of the data sources. - Slot
Specify the data source slot.
After entering the relevant information for the connection, click on “Add” or on “Save” after editing an already created data source.
The Allen-Bradley data source is created and subsequently displayed in the data source overview.
Created data sources can be edited or deleted again. You can do this using the corresponding buttons.
You also have the option of displaying all internal data sources. This works by activating the “Show internal data sources” checkbox.
You can find out how to add variables for theAllen-Bradleydata source in the chapter “Adding Allen-Bradley variables“.
