Deck 5: Understanding Control Logix I-O Addressing

Question 1

In order to operate, every module must have an owner that holds the I/O configuration for the module.

Answer 1

True

Question 2

The backplane in a ControlLogix chassis is a ControlNet network called "ControlMatrix."

Answer 2

False

Question 3

As the chassis modules are configured, they are assigned names. What are two points to keep in mind regarding these names?

Answer 3

As the chassis modules are configured, they are assigned a name. The following points apply to these assigned names:
1) Programmers can name modules whatever they wish as long as each name is unique.
2) The module name cannot contain the word "local."
3) The module's name is not used as part of the module's tags.

Question 4

If a ControlLogix consists of a single chassis, it is referred to as the ____________________.

Question 5

Analog module ports are referred to as____________________.

Question 6

When configuring the I/O for the local chassis, any I/O in a remote chassis that will communicate with the local chassis must also be configured.

Question 7

Starting with RSLogix 5000 software version ____________________, identification of the controller scoped tags collection changes from the word controller in parentheses to a controller icon displayed to the left of the project name.

Question 8

Each I/O module is in ____________________ mode until it receives its I/O configuration.

Question 9

The last piece of the I/O tag string is the bit number with valid entries from 0 to 31.

Question 10

Briefly compare slot numbering in a ControlLogix modular chassis to slot numbering in a CompactLogix controller.

Question 11

An analog tag can be an integer, real number, or I/O bit.

Question 12

Controller scoped tags are global tags. What is meant by the term "global tags?"

Question 13

What is the format of a typical digital I/O tag?

Question 14

The specific input tags assigned to an input module depend on the type of input module being configured. Briefly distinguish between tags for standard modules and diagnostic modules.

Question 15

I/O information is referred to as ____________________.

Question 16

Communication modules are referred to as ____________________.
