Example - Rockwell Studio 5000 Logix Designer ®

This section gives an example of a simple integration of EYE+ with the EtherNet/IP module in Rockwell Studio 5000 Logix Designer ® version 31.00.00.

Prerequisites

Before you start, please make sure you have downloaded the following files:

EYE+ EtherNet/IP EDS file (Electronic datasheet)
Studio 5000 Logix Designer ® sample code

These files can be downloaded from EtherNet/IP Downloads.

Once you have downloaded the necessary files, launch the EDS Hardware Installation Tool.

The Rockwell Automation’s EDS Wizard opens. Click on “Next”.

Select “Register an EDS file” and click on “Next”.

../../../_images/EDS_register.png — Fig. 262 Register an EDS file

Select the EYE+ EDS file you downloaded from EtherNet/IP Downloads.

Click on “Next” 4 times to finalize the EYE+ EDS registration.

Basic integration

Once the EYE+ EDS is registered, add a new EYE+ module to your I/O Configuration by right-clicking on your Ethernet board.

Select EYE+ and press “Create”.

In order for our Logix 5000 sample code to work out of the box, set the module name to EyePlus. Configure the IP settings. The default IP Address of the EYE+ Ethernet/IP module is 192.168.210.10. If you would like to change this address, please refer to the Module configuration section.

You should now see the EYE+ IOs in your controller tags. When you go online, the tag EyePlus:I.System_State should be 128, corresponding to the Ready state.

Create a new task, select it and import a component.

../../../_images/import_component.png — Fig. 268 Import a component

Choose the Logix sample code.

../../../_images/import_sample_code.png — Fig. 269 Open Logix 5000 sample code

Validate the import configuration by clicking OK.

The following ladder diagram should now have been imported in your task. You can start the production of a recipe that was previously created on your EYE+ controller by setting udRecipeID to the ID of that recipe, then setting boStart to True. The coordinates of the part found will be returned in reRobotTargetX, reRobotTargetY and reRobotTargetRz.
