COMMUNICATIONS
CRIMSON USER MANUAL - MODULAR CONTROLLER
Edit the individual module’s properties by double-clicking it. Each module and its properties
are explained in detail in later sections.
COMMUNICATIONS
Next, you’ll want to configure a port to communicate data to your PLC, PC, etc. The ports are
configured under the Communications window of the software. Click the Edit button in the
driver selection area to choose a protocol.
In the example below, Allen Bradley DF1 Master has been selected as the protocol. By doing
so, a device called PLC1 has been created. You should verify that the driver properties eg.
parity, baud rate, address, etc. make sense for your application.
MAPPING DATA
To map data between the Modular Controller and an external device, you’ll need to create
two so-called Gateway Blocks; one for moving module data into your device, and one for
getting module data from your device.
