Controllers and I/O Modules Chapter 1
The programmer can then create new tags with recognizable tag names that
describe the associated process signals to alias the analog module tags. These
new alias tags will contain the same data as the analog module tags they alias.
The following dialog box shows eight analog input channels from an analog
input module for which alias tags were created.
Logix Controller with S5 I/O
For customers to be able to migrate from S5 to current RA Technology within
their time and budget constraints, while mitigating their risk of production
downtime, a “phase-in” solution is possible by using variable ‘Siemens
network’ linking modules (for example, Profibus DP network).
In the following section we will discuss some scenarios on how to connect to
Legacy S5 hardware. The communication to S5 I/O and peer-to-peer
communication is covered.
In these scenarios, the profibus scanners (in rack modules) are mostly used for
communication to Legacy S5 I/O while the stand-alone modules are more for
peer-to-peer communication between S5/S7 PLCs and Logix controllers.
CompactLogix controllers
A CompactLogix system can be used when converting a S5 system to a
Logix-based platform, especially for small and standalone applications. For
these applications, consider upgrading the S5 I/O immediately to Logix I/O
together with the controller.
